Casio and MS make "cross licencing" deal.

Postby viking60 » 30 Sep 2011, 17:57

Casio has made a deal with Microsoft to give Casios custommers "patent protection for the use of Linux in some Casio units". A deal they could not refuse?
As you may remember Microsoft do claim that they own part of Linux. No specification of what they own, and no shred of evidence that they do. So why Casio are you buying the cat in the sack?
That was a rhetorical question!
At this point it has to be said that the deal they forced upon HTC (for using the Microsoft product Android :shock: ) is giving Microsoft 5 times more income than the sale of Win phones.

By the way: Microsoft has launched a new program:

Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
