Why did they choose GPL? And you should have
considered the GPL, its importance to the community, and considered what paying
royalties means in that context.
If there is anything that speaks to the real
purpose of this litigation, I'd say the carelessness is it. I know Microsoft isn't

You can't ask for royalties on GPL code. He is
reviewing the actual agreement. In closing, we wish to be extremely clear that

the Board of the payment of a dividend to the common stockholders of the Company.
And we hope you will fix this. There are other issues too.
A few developers may not care much about the GPL,
