Take, for instance, Microsoft's attempted hijacking of the Kerberos protocol. MS almost took an accepted standard, and almost perverted it
Well, I think we are still better off as when M$ would have created their own protcol from scratch. They certainly have the money to do that. The way it is now, we just have to implement the extensions to be able to use M$-Kerberos. I don't see where the BSD license has brought any kind of disadvantage here.
Actually, the open-sourced implementation changed their specification and forced Microsoft into explaining what they changed, but my memory about it is not the greatest.
