Hi, Since every GNU/Linux distributor seems to be positioning with regards to possible patent deals with Microsoft, I thought we could do the same. Actually, it's totally unthinkable that a non-profit organization could do this kind of deal, in which Microsoft pays you to perform hara-kiri by losing the right to distribute GPLv3 software. This is exactly what a positioning statement would reflect: that our community model is invulnerable to this kind of threats (and also to going out of bussiness, etc). Thoughts?
I believe our silence says it all, no? If they want to donate us money for no 'carte blanche' back good, otherwise I don't think it's worth write a PR and help them spread their FUD, IMHO. regards, -- stratus http://stratusandtheswirl.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
