Found on Slash dot, posted story from CJNet,
" In a statement released Friday, the Justice
Department said that it wants to extend certain parts
of the final judgment in the case, set to expire in
the fall of 2007, until 2009. It said that Microsoft
has agreed to the two-year extension of the program,
under which it licenses its Windows communications
protocols.
The department made its request as part of its regular
status report to U.S. District Court Judge Colleen
Kollar-Kotelly, who is overseeing the case.
"The Department of Justice is committed to full and
vigorous enforcement of the Microsoft final judgment,"
J. Bruce McDonald, Deputy Assistant Attorney General,
said in the statement. "This extension will ensure
that companies interested in licensing the
communications protocols receive the benefit of
complete and accurate documentation for the full
period of time provided by the court's final
judgment."
In the past, both the Justice Department and
Kollar-Kotelly have expressed concerns over the
documentation that Microsoft has provided in its
licensing effort. The company has already made several
changes to the program. However, the Justice
Department said that Microsoft has "concluded that a
broader 'reset' of its efforts to improve the
technical documentation would be more effective and
efficient than continuing with the current approach."
In my little world, the bottom feeders like us want
the sharks and other ruthless feeders to be held off
by even bigger fish! The DOJ works, for me!
