Microsoft gets good marks for compliance | |
|

| Time: 10:42 EST/15:42 GMT | News Source: Los Angeles Times | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Federal and state authorities report that Microsoft Corp. is abiding by many of the conditions it agreed to last year in its landmark settlement with antitrust enforcers, though they remain concerned about how much the software giant is charging to let competitors use its technology.
In their first report on compliance to the federal judge overseeing the agreement, lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department and 16 states including California and New York provided new details on how Microsoft has responded to their concerns and those of other companies. Most of the 18 substantive complaints by private parties concern Microsoft’s commitment to license, on reasonable terms, the techniques by which its PC software communicates with its server software. | ||

“The licensing terms don’t make business sense, and they would make our products cost-prohibitive,” said Lisa Poulson, a spokeswoman for server maker Sun Microsystems Inc.
--------------------- When have Sun's products not been cost-prohibitive? I wonder how MS' licensing fees compare to Sun's. I may be remembering this wrong, but didn't FreeBSD have to pay a few million dollars to license Java? This post was edited by n4cer on Saturday, July 05, 2003 at 17:17. |
