A monumentally inept comparison. (Is that offensive enough?
Maybe not.) A moronically stupid comparison, for two reasons.
- Microsoft protect their IP primarily through patents.
Even the U.S. patent office wouldn't allow patents on
Glorantha.
- Microsoft is the richest company in this part of the
galaxy. They have the money and the lawyers to out-process
any force known to man (or buy them off).
