Judge orders Microsoft to spill internal docs and scour execs' comms in secondhand licensing case
Yes, the 'Secondhand Software Presentation' does sound like it might be an adverse document...
A recent consent order has been issued, requiring Microsoft to release internal documents and conduct searches of executive communications in a secondhand licensing case. The order focuses on a historic Microsoft document titled "Second-Hand Software (SHS) Presentation" and asks for the disclosure of related documents and executive communications.
The confidentiality status of several documents has been lifted, and Microsoft has been given until November 30 to submit any documents found during the searches. The case has been ongoing since 2021, and the SHS Presentation, which has yet to be made public, is expected to shed light on Microsoft's handling of the second-hand software market.
