DoJ, Microsoft extend antitrust deal

The Department of Justice and Microsoft have agreed to a two-year extension of the communications protocol licensing program portion of Microsoft's final antitrust settlement with the government.
The DoJ Friday told U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who presided over the Microsoft trial, the extension is necessary due to Microsoft's difficulty in improving the technical documentation it provides to licensees.
In its filing with the court, the DoJ said the extension request is not a result of any belief that Microsoft has willfully violated the final judgment.
