This also needs to be remembered by other ethical : technologists, Microsoft's goal of taking for themselves that which is and should remain in the public domain applies to private entities in many more areas than technology. Their strategy for doing so is also not new: cf. the Catholic Church, medicine or any other guilded profession, infant formula adverts, the professionalization of government. You "convince" the law and standards bodies that there is a "better" way which happens to involve some proprietary products or services that can only be provided by yourself.
