“I.B.M.’s decision not to license its mainframe software has been at the heart of the antitrust complaints against it.”

So it’s illegal to take full advantage of your state-granted monopoly?!

One of the biggest arguments against Microsoft for years has been that they change their internal file and networking protocols randomly, making life hard for reverse-engineers.

The argument is, basically, that Microsoft cannot change their own products as they see fit. Period.

And then they call Microsoft the evil monopolist!
