Do you have or are there evidence that MS could file lawsuits against
developers that read MS code?  Do you know people of governments that
actually read the final NDA and can tell us for sure that this would be
the case?  We need to find out for sure before we declare them
"untouchables", otherwise we run the risk of being called "names" :)
