Microsoft caught on violating open source codes

Why smart people prefer open source? Learn from double faced King of proprietory solutions Microsoft. They follow what they themselves never practice and what they really practice but never accept. Micrsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer called Linux a cancer[1] while the same Cancer is now known and proven to be flowing into the veins of Microsoft[2], now people like me are really wondering how Steve Ballmer will save Microsoft from his self claimed Cancer. The story was exposed when Microsoft was caught red handed when while packing a fast release for Window USB/DVD Tool (WUDT) by ripping off code licensed under GPL[3][4].

If you think there is only one story of Microsoft , then have a look at this story, where Microsoft was caught using Linux device drivers (network)[5][6]

Though this article of mine is written in a funny way but reality of such crime could not be explained any better at this point, for comments and feedback readers are encourged to share their views.
