========== Forwarded message ==========
Microsoft has steadily been soliciting supporters of the European
Commission antitrust case to withdraw their support for the Commissio=
n
by offering a series of financial settlements. The agreement with Sun
Microsystems to withdraw has now been joined by financial settlements
with Novell and the CCIA, in which they also agreed to withdraw from =
the
case.
In light of these developments, the Free Software Foundation Europe
(FSFE) reaffirms its determination to support the European Commission=
in
the landmark antitrust case, in which a decision is expected soon.
The list of supporters of the European Commission may be getting
shorter, but the FSFE and Software & Information Industry Association
(SIIA) are still participating in the case, and fighting on behalf of
European consumers. The FSFE's commitment to the case and its support=
of
the Commission is not undermined by the recent developments.
"There is not enough money in the world to buy our withdrawal from th=
is
case. My client did not join this case in mere self-interest. Our goa=
l
is to help the Commission restore some of the freedoms of the market =
and
restore the competition that was lost in previous years", explains Ca=
rlo
Piana, who represents the FSFE in this case.
"We believe that in cooperation with the SAMBA team we have done a
very good job so far and we will continue our effort for the sake of
those who are apparently all too easily forgotten -- the Free Softwar=
e
developers and European customers.", adds Georg Greve, president of t=
he
Free Software Foundation Europe.
Georg Greve points out: "We are financed purely by donations, and are
engaged in this struggle as we believe this is the right thing to do =
for
our supporters and for Europe. We will not give up this fight."
"For the Samba Team, this case is about leveling the playing field, a=
nd
encouraging Microsoft to use Royalty-free Open Public Standards in it=
s
products" said Volker Lendecke & John Terpstra of the Samba Team. "We
fully support the FSFE and the European Commission in this case, and
will continue to provide direct evidence of how Microsoft has used it=
s
monopoly to obstruct software interoperability and damage the
competitive landscape in Europe."
