Have you partaken in the conspiracy theories about Microsoft's recent investment in Vintela, a Unix-Windows integration software company? Vintela's association with SCO, and Microsoft's apparent interest in keeping SCO's legal battle against IBM afloat in order to undermine Linux, certainly provide plenty of kindling to keep the home fires burning at conspiracy central. But let's try to get the story straight first. OSNews interviewed Vintela President Dave Wilson.

If Vintela is using GNU tools, they must provide the source for any of the altered GNU tools they are using.
Try reading the GPL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
Not everyone who modifies any GPL code is required to make it available to anyone that requests it.
If they distribute modified binaries to you, then you may request the source code. The party also reserves the right to charge you shipping on said code.
This is a common misconception, please think before you attack.
