best quote from the article:
<<<
Ironically, LG Electronics is a member of a group called the Consumer
Electronics Linux Forum. The group comprises a number of electronics
manufacturers that embed Linux into their products. On its Web site,
CELF says part of its mission is "to operate completely within the
letter and the spirit of the open source community."

The FSF and other open source advocates are likely to question whether
LG's tie-up with Microsoft is part of that mission.
