He is actually singing 'elegies' for the benefit of our
Open Source guys who think that the BSD license is great !
He is doing the bidding of his master to further the goal of
'embracing & extending' all of the software under the Open 
Source guys' hats.  There will be no money to be made by these
Open Source guys/developers and by the time they realize this 
it will be too late and they may have to increase the contrast
of their eyes :(  M$ would have made 'good, clean' money by 
'stealing' the code of our OSS guys; M$ brand of innovation.  

Craig Mundie cannot answer questions of the Free Software
Conference attendees (if he were to attend) because he will 
start blabbering when the issue of *Software Freedom* is raised.
He very well knows that only the GPL can protect an ordinary 
developer.  He fears the GPL and its *fundamentalist brigade* 
for giving us (the developer and the end-user) *Software Freedom*.

The FreeBSD license is a 'black hole' trap because it neither
protects the Developer nor makes life easier for the End User.
