Last week, I got into an argument about whether Microsoft was using TomTom to go after Linux. I also attended several events where the massive costs of the AMD vs. Intel litigation were discussed. I got to thinking how both entities — AMD and FLOSS — are currently defined by the dominant company in their space. For FLOSS — the open source software community, not the stuff you clean your teeth with — it is Microsoft that seems to define them, and they have been largely the anti-Microsoft folks for all of this decade.
