Microsoft might find itself in a costly legal battle? Oh no, software freedom must be curtailed lest poor Microsoft ever find itself in a costly legal battle for doing the right thing.
I also found it a funny comment because Microsoft employs about 500 lawyers as part of an in-house legal team that is larger than most independent firms. If standing up for what it thinks is ethically and morally right isn't something a multi billion $ company with 500 lawyers can do, who can?
That is actually not true. Many laws, in many jurisdictions, are challenged by defending those who break them.
In fact, in the US, that is the _only_ way for a citizen to challenge a law. One cannot challenge a law that they have not been charged with breaking in the United States.
