So you think Linux should be able use Microsoft’s FAT, FAT32 or NTFS disk formats without paying a license? All those users across the globe who are switching to these free clones of US products should be just able to do it? You’re using “Ubuntu” isn’t it, yourself? Does it even have a legal DVD driver?

Actually I think that requiring a license to use a disk format is a joke. Being able to patent a disk format is a *bad* joke.
