But what I think could be challenged with antitrust regulators is
Microsoft CHARGING for it. To keep it a level playing field MSFT
should issue free keys to any OS development firm that asks for one,
whether commercial or open source.

the will not give microsoft unlimited keys for free
the whole "secure boot" idea is crap
