Long forgotten, I have found again an article bearing an interview I gave to a very competent journalist, Dennis Byron, for ebizQ. The interview turned to be a recount by Dennis of the at-the-time current status of the Microsoft vs. EU Commission case. This is before the recent events that brought to an agreement between the Samba Team, through the Protocol Freedom Information Foundation, and Microsoft (more details in my related entry).
The article puts together my comments and those of Mark Webbink, former Vice General Counsel at Red Hat and now Senior Lecturing Fellow at Duke University and counsel in private practice. Mark is one of the most knowledgeable and respectable legal minds in the Free and open source software community.
The article is somewhat interesting in that it provides some background and perspective to the recent events. It can be read at http://www.ebizq.net/hot_topics/open_source/features/8499.html?&pp=1
