  Open source: Microsoft lawyer on patent question
Time: 01:39 EST/06:39 GMT | News Source: Seattle PI | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Todd Bishop: If everything is on schedule, Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith should be concluding his appearance at the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco right about now -- including a full hour of questions from a panel and the audience. I'll be linking to reports from the event as they're posted. In the meantime, I spoke with Smith on the phone prior to his speech today and asked him, among other things, to address what appears to be the top Microsoft-related question on the minds of the open-source community: Why won't the company list the patents it alleges are infringed by Linux and other open-source programs?
