Joining Forces: Microsoft and Linux

It has been reported that Microsoft and Linux have joined forces in an unusual move. Their partnership is over a software law debate, where both companies have expressed a mutual disagreement over the move.

According to this ComputerWorld report, the whole issue is about the American Law Institute (ALI), as they are planning to release a document about software contracts.

Microsoft and Linux are trying to get the ALI to ‘clarify a section of its document that concerns warranties on defects in software.‘ They also want the ALI to delay the publishing of the document, to allow for more time to solve the issue.
