I don't think that this has to be fake. It seems to be like Sun and
Microsoft formed an agreement, and MS said "but I don't want any of this
to apply to that Open Office thing you've got there -- we don't really
like that", and Sun just said "fine". Microsoft may just be wanting to
guard against MS Office-related patents being implemented in an open
source product. Doesn't necessarily seem all that unreasonable to me...
