Yep, and for the short-term that may work out well.  But if MS is truly
deadset on stamping out the GPL, we may now be considered a primary
threat to them and a target for litigation.  Even if that litigation is
unfounded.  But, hey - it could be worse.  If they get to that point, it
means that they're attacking behaviour outside of the scope of the
license.  If they do that, we have to stop them somehow.
