CNet has a big two-part interview with Microsoft chairman Bill Gates: Ushering in Zune, spiffing up Office and Gates on Vista, Linux and more. In the second part, Gates tries to make it clear that Microsoft isn't against (small f) free software or source code sharing, and does both.
The only thing you see a disagreement on is that we think people should be careful about which licensing model they use, because it means you're breaking this cycle. Now (Free Software Foundation head Richard) Stallman, he is truly pure; unlike many people who sort of try to act that way, he's pure. In V3 (version three of the General Public License) he's going to really make it clear that there's the world of "can never be (commercialized)"--nobody can ever make money on it, you know, build Web services or things. At least he's pure.
