Rival: Microsoft's EU Offer a "Poisoned Honeypot"
Microsoft Corp. has set out a "poisoned honeypot" by offering to open source code in its antitrust case, a rival said in a confidential filing to the European Commission, which it opened on Tuesday.
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and software group Samba followed the lead of Microsoft by opening up confidential filings to the European Commission.
The FSFE/Samba filing responded to a Commission questionnaire seeking industry comment on Microsoft's proposal to open up its confidential "source code" for those who license it server software.
Microsoft has said its proposal would solve problems of much of the industry, but said it was never aimed at solving disputes with "open source" groups such as FSFE/Samba.
