Do you still use close code and vendor-lock standards???

Do you still use close code and vendor-lock standards?
Then read about yet another information leak in Micro$oft:


Second most repugnant is the craven way the programs are described to ease law enforcement grab of data. This information would also be equally useful to customers to protect themselves when Microsoft cannot due to its legal obligations under CALEA.

Also:
- Microsoft’s “Global Criminal Compliance Handbook”
- openstandards presentation [ru]

Of course, it's bad when your vendor pass your information to someone. But even worse - when it (info) can be lose and it will be publish.


Do you really still use close code and vendor-lock standards???
