So, do you really dislike Microsoft this much that the Eurosocialists are now the good guys - one of those ends-justify-the-means kind of things?

May not be enough -- they're withholding judgement. Although the tone of the article makes me say "Friggin' socialists, give'em an inch and they take a mile."

It is true that code isn't the end-all of documentation. Anyone who's waded through thousands of lines of another's undocumented code knows what I mean. Still, surely the previous documentation plus the code should be enough for any reasonable person -- but who says the EU is reasonable?

Read my earlier post from before I found out the code production wasn't forced. Anyone should be free to license their code how they want, open or closed, as long as that license doesn't violate law.
