Via Scripting News, Eric Raymond warns against a Microsoft anti Open Source PR campaign.

A few hours ago, a friendly journalist tipped me that Craig Mundie of Microsoft is going to make a major speech in New York tomorrow attacking open-source software -- specifically, attacking the GNU General Public License. This speech is probably intended to define Microsoft's party line on open source, and to shift the terms of the debate over it to one that Microsoft thinks it can win.

/. also mentions this, and points to a New York Times article on the Microsoft PR campaign.
