Microsoft sues EC | The Register

Microsoft sues EC | The Register: "Microsoft is taking legal action against the European Commission and has confirmed it has filed a suit with the Court of First Instance. As part of the agreement reached last March the Court asked MS to open up access to its server APIs - it is this issue the software firm is now contesting.
Microsoft issued a wordy statement which suggests they've spent too long talking to lawyers and European bureaucrats: �Microsoft has filed an application for annulment with the Court of First Instance specifically concerning the issue of broad licenses in source code form of communications protocols which are based upon Microsoft�s intellectual property."
