Looks like the lid comes off
The Commission stayed the requirement that MS publicly disclose interop documentation until this ruling, on the grounds that once the data became public it would be impossible to put it back in the bottle.

Well, the Court has upheld the common-sense decision that legally protectable "intellectual property" (patents, in other words) are still enforceable when disclosed, so there is no legal obstacle to full disclosure.

It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I'm not holding my breath for the full AD spec to hit the web, that's for sure.
