BOTH Microsoft AND Tibco twisted something (and here Tibco on its
advertising). And missed the key, from start...
Free Software dont need joint ventures nor companies acquiring to
interoperate, it just need compatible software
licences.
What they claim is "I can't use "R", because "R" is GPL licenced, so I
done something I claim an
R implementation". Instead of "I can't use "R", because what I call my
license which essentially impair my users
is obviously not compatible with GPL, so I let a try to continue to
impair my users more and fill them with
bullshit to say that the right way to interoperate is mine"
