Microsoft has said it has no immediate plans to sue after alleging patent infringements by open-source vendors.
In an official statement emailed to ZDNet UK, Microsoft confirmed that it would not litigate for now.
"If we wanted to go down that road we could have done that three years ago," said a Microsoft spokesperson. "Rather than litigate, Microsoft has spent the last three years building an intellectual property bridge that works for all parties--including open source--and the customer response has been tremendously positive. Our focus is on continuing to build bridges."
