Microsoft Offers to License the Internet

How generous of them ... and it would be even nicer of them if they actually had rights to the stuff being licensed!

According to an eWeek story Microsoft is beginning to assert IP rights over 130 protocols including many basic Internet protocols including TCP/IP, DNS, etc. The story originates with a mailing list post to the IETF's IPR list.
