What Linspire Agreed To

“We can read the Linspire-Microsoft patent agreement now, or more precisely Microsoft’s ‘Covenant to Customers’, and I thought it would be worthwhile to give it a close, line-by-line reading. I’ll explain it as best I can, but ask your lawyer if it matters to you in a real-world sense. For our purposes here, let’s just have fun with the worst deal I’ve seen yet in this category.”
