Ah, I see. Sounds like Maths and Computer Science aren't affected. :)

I hope you don't believe that too seriously, especially for computer science. Just to cite one example, the computer science department at the University of Washington (in Seattle, just across the lake from Redmond) is located in the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering. Better yet, the law school is located in William H. Gates Hall, though technically it's named for Bill's father, not Bill himself. Does anyone seriously believe that the way computer science is taught there is not influenced by Microsoft? (let alone how they teach copyright law)
