Iain Thomson in ITNews Australia discusses the Microsoft FUD about alleged patents that are infringed by Linux distributions.
OIN chief executive Jerry Rosenthal said that Microsoft's assertions are simply an attempt to undermine the open source movement.
Rosenthal added that it is time for Microsoft to reveal the patents that are supposedly being infringed, or to drop the claims.
"The FUD is clear. If you have a patent that you are proud of, then disclose it," he said.
