He wants Justice to make Windows source code open (not "open source",
just available) so he can sell ReiserFS for Windows. He also points
out that software is infinitely separable productwise; that
integration of function does not imply, and is not implied by,
integration of sale; and that physical distribution and sale are
likewise separable, a doctrine I regard as dangerous.
