Microsoft Signs Up First Code Licensee

[HardOCP News]

The Associated Press says that Microsoft, under threat of new fines from the EU, signed up its first licensee for a code sharing program regulators told MS to set up three years ago.

The European Commission threatened the software giant with new daily fines of euro3 million ($4 million) last week for not obeying its March 2004 antitrust order, claiming Microsoft was overcharging rivals for "complete and accurate" documentation.
