This is like stepping on the sleeping lion's tail.

All what these petitions will accomplish, if anything is to remind to MSFT to take action to bury the source code even deeper.

It is better to let MSFT forget that there ever was a threat by a desktop style, open Linux running device combining the best camera and hardware emerging as the only potential iPhone killer.

Is there anybody that believes all MSFT was after was the best hardware platform or the name of Nokia which they recently ditched?
Pureview? degraded to "just good enough" camera tech. Threat neutralized.
Naughty OS gone, hardware captured. Two birds, one stone.

Better stay under the radar and hope for a friendly, well timed source leak to happen soon.

For Symbian there might be a straw of hope in reminding certain EU politicians about their intentions in 2010 and the threat by foreign spyware OS taking the place of the Symbian OS. (post 2013 "revelations")
