I've added a short blurb to the jCIFS home page regarding the DoJ
settlement in the Microsoft Anti-Trust case.
>From my own reading of the settlement document, I would say that it is
more of a bill of rights for Microsoft than any form of punishment. It
seems that they are being granted the right to hide information from the
Open Source Community in particular. I recommend, though, that anyone
interested read the document and commentary and come to your own
conclusions.
