A nice anecdote in

        http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/14909.html

An M$ hating Linux programmer was awarded a prize for his contribution of
a patent to Microsoft.  This patent had been applied for independently of
him, and the company, in which he no longer works, was bought by M$.  M$
is now using his work to keep people from writing powerful debuggers.
