Munich reportedly chickened out of Linux a few years later - due to lobbying.

I've seen this story every few years, perhaps this is just how they Munich negotiates its contract with Microsoft.

Like every time North Korea needs more aid it launches a missile into the sea of Japan?

At least Munich's bargaining chip seems a bit more friendly.

This, definitely remember reading about this on slashdot decades ago. Must've gone well...
