This from the company that ALREADY claims Linux violates its patents?

Perhaps they couldn't find enough of their code so are offering up bait
to incorporate more so they can do so later?   If they don't release it
under GPL it will be very important to read the fine print of whatever
they do release it under.

I get the general impression that nobody is using their development
tools for much of anything these days...
