| Sometimes folks try to characterize, or mischaracterize, the FOSS community. 
| If you want to know what that community is like, it's like this, this 
| interview, these four men who dared to try the impossible, with weapons of 
| intellect and skill and integrity rather than money, men who couldn't be 
| bought, who never gave up, and who happily lived to tell us the story with 
| humor and pleasantness.

| Greve noted that by the time of the September 17 Court decision, Microsoft 
| had “bought out” most of the companies who originally wanted the protocol 
| information, specifically Novell, Sun and the Computer and Communications 
| Information Association (which represented a number of Microsoft’s rivals). 
| As a result, the only vendor who has been advocating actively for access to 
| Microsoft’s protocols is Samba.
