Really? I reckon Microsoft understands Open Sourceand community-based projects very well - that they are dangerous to it's business model and therefore must be countered will all the cheap and nasty tricks the lawyers and marketing people can think up.

Good thing Robbins managed to secure Gentoo's IP in the Gentoo Foundation before he left.
