Ah hello! I'm really surprised no has bothered throwing this piece of meat into the doghouse yet. Maybe everyone is dumbstruck? Well, anyway, for the unknowing: http://www.microsoft.com/interop/msnovellcollab/default.mspx http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/ Comments people?
More questions.... http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20061107194320461 "I just realized the full significance. Novell here is stepping outside the line of fire and agreeing with Microsoft that *end users* are the ones that you must go after in any patent infringement dispute. Shades of SCOsource. Thanks for nothing, Novell. More questions: When were Novell SUSE customers asked if they wished Novell to negotiate a agreement with Microsoft on their behalf? When were Novell SUSE customers asked about the terms of said agreement? What consideration does Microsoft get from Novell's customers? Does negotiating this agreement on Novell's customers' behalf indicate that Novell assumed Power of Attorney for their customers in this matter? Did Novell truly represent the best interest of their customers using Power of Attorney? Can Novell legally assume Power of Attorney for their customers without a written grant? Do Novell customers have the ability to "opt-out" of this agreement? Is this agreement binding on customers? " Who gave Novell rights to decide on behalf of you just because you happened to buy a Novell product?????
