Microsoft sets Office's ribbon UI not-quite-free (Download Squad)

Nov 23rd 2006 7:06AM I'm really amazed. This should be considered as great news for devs (the final words are "the office ribbon is freely usable"), but all you find to do is spit on intellectual property. Haven't you read all the EULAs, "about boxes" etc. of any software you test / use (eg http://desktop.google.com/en/eula.html, "Intellectual property") ?
BTW, where did you read any mention of "patent" for Office Ribbon ? I just read about licensing agreements.
