Florian Müller

Update (Oct. 2011): Confirmed: Linux-hostile Lobbyist Microsoft Florian (Müller) is Funded by Microsoft

Florian Müller, a campaigner for hire (with history), uses Microsoft products extensively and also promotes them. He refuses to deny being paid by Microsoft. He pretends to be against software patents while actually lobbying in their favour and defending Microsoft (by mass-mailing journalists to 'inject' spin). Here are only some of our many posts which expose his agenda.
