I happen to work for a company which sells both hardware and software
(not Microsoft or any close relative), but not in any legal (or
polemical) capacity, and my opinions are my own.  I've gotten so
deeply involved in this debate, and spent so much time on it, that I
gave a company lawyer of my acquaintance a heads-up last week; but
he's more likely to be horrified by the possibility of the company
becoming the target of a free-software-enthusiast vendetta than to
approve.

Cheers,
