IconMicrosoft has succeeded in fracturing the Linux and open-source community with the patent indemnity agreements it has entered into with several prominent vendors, Ubuntu leader and Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth told eWEEK.

He also took issue with the software maker for not disclosing the 235 of its patents it claims are being violated by Linux and other open-source software.
