I find this tactic frightening, because IBM and others might
indeed find it easier to start collecting the "Microsoft tax
by another name" from linux users.
Consequently this seems consistent with a strategy of
imposing the "Microsoft tax by another name" on linux
rather than destroying linux.

Concerned,
