Michael Tiemann of Red Hat tipped us to a site maintained by his
company’s own Bero that sports a domain name Microsoft probably
should have jumped on. As it is, readers paying a visit to get to
the bottom of all this “Shared Source” hoopla may get a dose of a
contrary viewpoint.

The site is located at http://shared-source.com and it
offers a fairly comprehensive set of refutations of the assertions
Microsoft’s assorted employees have been making of late. We’re also
mightily entertained by the warning to spammers at the bottom.
