Microsoft contributed Red Hat to Linux code and praised and urged

Article Title: Microsoft contributes to the Red Hat of Linux code and has been praised and urged. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

In a red hat legal document on Tuesday, Red Hat affirmed Microsoft's change first-Microsoft provided 20 thousand lines of Linux-driven code to allow Microsoft's virtualization software to support Linux. while praising Microsoft for contributing code to the Linux community, RedHat still urges its competitors to promise not to use its patent rights to crack down on Linux.

Some insiders think that Microsoft is very popular in contributing code to Linux, and some people think that Microsoft will use GPL to initiate an impact on the Linux platform. RedHat Legal Department said: "Microsoft has made a very important contribution to the Linux kernel under GNU General Public Authorization V2 (GNU General Public License version 2). This is a very important news. It seems that yesterday Microsoft was still competing with Linux, open-source software, and GPL, and today it has become a reliable Member of the Linux community. RedHat, the biggest contributor to the Linux kernel, expressed its gratitude and encouraged Microsoft to continue contributing to Linux ."

However, Redhat's legal department also said Microsoft had to promise not to use any patent rights to crack down on Linux. "to win the respect and trust of the Linux community, Microsoft needs to uncertain that it will not use patent rights to crack down on Linux and other open source developers and users."

In the past, Microsoft declared that Linux and open-source software infringe on 235 patents. Open-source software users should pay royalties to Microsoft. A Sany Microsoft official spokesman said this week that Microsoft wants to strike a balance between its contribution to open source and protection of intellectual property rights: "In fact, these two points do not conflict, balancing between the two is a key point for a commercial technology company to maintain strong competitiveness in a diverse market."
