Microsoft signs LInux patent deal with Buffalo Tech

[ Thanks to smk for this link. ]

"Microsoft has not specifically disclosed which patents it is licensing to Melco - which is a cause for concern in my opinion.

"As opposed to the TomTom incident where Microsoft exposed which patents it had issues with, in this new deal with Buffalo we don't know. As such it could be any one or a number of patents that Microsoft has claimed that open source infringes on."
