You're story reminds me of Bluejeans cables who got sued by Monster Cables. The difference is that the owner of BJC is a litigation lawyer. Why don't you contact him? have a read at www.bluejeanscable.com/.../index.htm

I have to disagree strongly with some people who have posted implying that Microsoft is "greedy" and an "evil empire" just because they sell their computer software [very successfully]. What dreamworld do such individuals inhabit?

If you want to work for free a distribute your software no charge as OSS then that's your choice but do not decry those who chose otherwise for their are many millions of us who derive their income from paid computer work (myself included).

That said, in this instance Microsoft seems to be the guilty party, not because they were wrong in taking action to defend their income base but because of the hamfisted and insensitive way in which they went about the task. They have, possibly inadvertantly, badly mishandled one of their (obviously) loyal and enthusiastic supporter and one who, unfortunately for them, is not prepared to sit and suffer in silence.

On this basis Microsoft should immediately dismiss their [moronic/idiotic] employee Weber before he causes any more catastrophes. They should also immediately write to Cansdale apologising for the way he was treated and offering to reinstate his MVP status as well as providing him with all the other "honours" which had been offered and subsequently withdrawn. Microsoft should also rewrite its EULA in more explicit terms so that further instances of this kind of "accidental" copyright breach are minimised.

Cansdale, in return, should immediately modify his software so that it will not work on the Express Edition and issue the following explanation to his user base:

After representations from Microsoft this software has been modified so that it will no longer work with free editions of Microsoft Visual Studio software. This has been done as an act of good faith to Microsoft and not as an admission of any liability or wrongdoing.

Does anyone else find it funny that this blog is hosted on a Microsoft site?

It would appear that the lawyers letter fails to tell you specifically what you are doing wrong.

Furthermore, Microsoft has been unable to tell you what you are doing wrong despite extensive correspondance.

To many it would appear that Microsoft is trying to bully a small software company in order to maximise its own revenue. This would be in breach of worldwide anti-trust regulations that Microsoft are obliged to adhere to.

It would be beneficial to refer this matter to the EU anti-trust department investigating Microsoft. Should Microsoft fail to be specific with them, then the EU may well impose a €500 BILLION fine on Microsoft. Yes, this is the only way to deal with the Bully Boys.

Jamie,

I much feel like advising you to keep fighting, but wonder of what tangible value my support would be (except for moral, of course). Microsoft sucks and all horrible things, but it's you who will be (and have) burning hours trying to reason with them. I wonder about the objective.

Moral grounds?

Dreams of winning a law suit & getting compensated? Promoting your product/credentials before you succumb to the evil emprire?

Clearly you are very talented and I respect you for that.

I sincerely wish you all the best in your efforts.

Regards,

Sandeep.
