“This document addresses a presentation colloquially known as
‘MS-GPL’ and described as ‘a presentation of Microsoft Benelux in
Belgium & Luxembourg.’ The slides, dated 22 November 2002,
purport to be Microsoft’s most recent response to the Free Software
Foundation’s General Publc Licence (GPL).

“Halloween VII mentioned achieving limited success through
publicising Shared Source, and it looks like Dirk Tombeur’s
presentation is an attempt to leverage that success.

“I have only addressed the slides entitled ‘Areas of Concern’
since the rest of the presentation is mainly non-controversial
background material…”
