Microsoft is spending hard to do the relationship with overseas government. On the other hand, some countries have also begun to support the development of local Linux. We attach great importance to overseas markets. Recently, we hired a supervisor in the Former IBM Asia Pacific to operate the Red Hat Asia-Pacific region. In some markets, you can't get it. South Korea, China, Japan has different, so you need to treat these markets. For a new, during the growth, this market has a huge challenge, and there is a need to deal with a lot of problems, like localization issues, cultural differences, prices, and more. Do you think the Red Hat has benefited from the anti-American wave to some extent? Although you are also a US company, the red hat's logo has been popularized in many countries. There are many factors in the formation of anti-Americanism, where is not just computer software issues. But in the international market, there are several key factors that make open source software popular. First, the user has a choice. Second, the user can modify and configure the software they use without violating the law. Talking about security issues, do you think Linux future can resist more attacks? I think that Linux's evolutionary speed is quite fast, it will become a more flexible, safe and better operating system environment, I mean is not said that Linux is unlunably, all hackers are not able to do it in front of it. What is the biggest challenge of red cap and open source software sports? I think it is a patent and copyright issue. What is it? The topic for the challenge of the existing patent dispute disputes in the Red Hat and Open Source Community has been a long time. We believe that you need to reassess and use this mechanism with caution. We don't want to see the current patent law to continue to constrain the future development, we believe that the copyright protection mechanism of this country is used wrong place. Do you think legal mechanisms need to be adjusted? One of the most important issues is the issue disclosure of the details in the software patent application. When we apply for a patent, you can only publish a part of the source code or intellectual property, you can not disclose all patents. Another problem is that copyright protection and commercial confidential protection are now often mixed. I think some of the people of the government and the judiciary are challenging these traditional legal frames. Our world is moving towards a digital age from an analog signal era, but some copyright protection has a history of more than 100 years, it is time to change. Is there any other improvement method? I think that the most important thing is to continue to encourage discussion. When President Bush came to stage, he talked about the challenges faced by the US Patent and the Trademark Office, as well as the importance of creating international standards. I think, small companies like Red Hat should also be equal to the public discussion as those who can lobby Huafu. What are your big companies? Those companies that are powerful than red caps. One of these big companies have held financial analysts in Seattle last week. At the meeting, it proposed a development plan that will increase the number of patent applications. You think Microsoft's patent application strategy is an open source society. How big is there? The situation in patents is different from the past. The current patent application and the recognized program are really a renewal, which is not only the problem of software patent application. I think that in the field of other patent applications. I have said that the application process of software patents lacks transparency, this problem is plaguing open source communities. Red Hat is also developing a patent response plan, how much is its scale? Compared with Microsoft, very small. I think we are trying to make the innovation of open source communities not fall into the enemy. Is the patent a biggest threat to the open source? Paying consumption is also a threat. People pay for products and services is a threat, which is also a threat to industry competition characteristics in huge changes.
