I'm not saying they will or not... and that is not the point...
Once here in brasil, a free software event received sponsorship from
Microsoft (that event which RMS recorded a tape to be shown). And that
caused muuuuch trouble... I'm not saying the sponsorship should be
refused, but many people said (at the time of that event) that the
sponsorship from Microsoft should.
One question we could think about is: Which are the political
differences (from our point of view) from nokia to microsoft,
considering the position of nokia about the software patents?
