The text seems confused; it starts off talking about "Viral Software",
and then gives as an example of "Viral Software", software developed
"as free software". It also doesn't explain what "in conjunction
with" means; on the same CD? Linked together? I assume Dick Hardt of
ActiveState is off bending some ears at Microsoft about this, and
it'll get clarified or, perhaps, dropped.
