"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."

It's the only way to read legal documents without being put to sleep. Someone needs to spell out MS's intent, and the "snarkiness" is the best way to put that in print. I suppose you're all about the MS protection money then, right?
Tell you what, how about you read the document, and derive from it whatever you like, post it sans all the humor and bits that make it interesting to read, and let's see if your findings don't match what Groklaw came up with?
Some people.....no sense of humor....
