06/05/2004 01:10 AMMicrosoft's new policy for licensing its patents has supporters of
open-source software worried that the company will use a broken
government system for protecting intellectual property to beat back
gains Linux and other competing software have made in the marketplace.
The Redmond, Wash., software maker, which holds about 4,500 patents
covering a broad spectrum of technology affecting desktops, servers,
and more, said in December that it would begin licensing patents to
meet requests from customers, partners, and regulators.

Linux and open source opportunities in
the Mideast
01/17/2004 10:45 PMRIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Computers and the Internet are just starting
to penetrate the Mideast, and since most residents of most countries
here are dirt-poor, Linux and open source are "naturals" for the
region. There is also a fast-growing market for Arabic-language
commercial software (or software services based on open source
applications), and it seems that half of the region's governments have
decided their country should become "the" developer of Arabic-language
software. Saudi Arabia, where I'm writing this, is pouring massive
government funds into an effort to build a software industry. But it's
possible that cultural and political factors may be more important
than government aid in encouraging software development. If this is
so, Saudi Arabia may be wasting its money, and should look at changing
its society instead. Note: This is #5 in a series of five "Dispatches
from Saudi Arabia." You may want to see #1, #2, #3, and #4 before you
