"The FSF today launched a campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users' security and privacy rights. "Vista is an upsell masquerading as an upgrade. It is an overall regression when you look at the most important aspect of owning and using a computer: your control over what it does. Obviously MS Windows is already proprietary and very restrictive, and well worth rejecting. But the new 'features' in Vista are a Trojan Horse to smuggle in even more restrictions. We'll be focusing attention on detailing how they work, how to resist them, and why people should care", said FSF program administrator John Sullivan."

twenex: "Nevertheless, the "Linux violates MS IP" claims he made, without evidence, show that at the time, contrary to his further claims, MS (in the shape of its CEO) had not given up on such vitriol."
By attacking Microsoft for saying that Linux violates Microsoft IP, even though you know perfectly well from Perens statement that Linux violates Microsoft IP, makes your statement about suing for libel suspect.
I ought to have made clear that I meant "he declined to give any evidence".
