Not surprising

No_Ax has been claiming for some time now that Microsoft is going to make it difficult, if not impossible, for open-source to make use of its IP. In looking through the agreement, I didn't see anything about MS having to provide the IP on the exact same terms for all licensees. Is there any reason why Microsoft can't license under different terms for different parties, as long as it is complying with the settlement? What about this Sun-MS agreement violates the settlement?
