+    mention it, too.  The European Commission is not satisfied with Microsoft's 
+    attempts to comply with the EC's order to open up Window's server 
+    protocols.  MS proposed a licensing scheme which would provide access 
+    to protocol information for a fee.</p>
+
+    <blockquote>The server interoperability licence proposed by Microsoft 
+    treats open source vendors unfairly and has unreasonably high royalties, 
+    according to the EC.</blockquote>
