I thought Microsoft had changed, but when they sent Eric Lundgren to prison I realized they were the same old Microsoft. Their open source work is nothing more than them pulling their head out of the sand and adapting to a new world that they did everything possible to prevent.

I don't dispute that Lundgren broke the law by distributing software that wasn't his to distribute. But the 15 month sentence was based on the falsehood that the discs were worth $25, when $25 is the license cost, and Lundgren's discs didn't come with a license. (1/3)

In fact, the disc contents were literally free to download from Microsoft's website. Had Microsoft been honest about the true cost, Lundgren's sentence would have been substantially less. (2/3)

Of course, Microsoft's post doesn't address this. It smears Lundgren in an attempt to distract people from the real issue: an excessive and unjust sentence based on a false figure provided by Microsoft. (3/3)
