FTFL, "It is true that one prominent open-source developer, Samba programmer Jeremy Allison, did leave Novell over the Microsoft/Novell patent partnership and was subsequently hired by Google. However, in a brief email exchange with DesktopLinux, Love wrote that he was not leaving Novell because of the Microsoft/Novell patent deal."
Hmm.... However, until we hear from the horse's mouth/blog truth can't be
established. I'll also mirror Jeremy's sentiments that Suse/OpenSuse is a very fine and advanced distro and deserves a lot better than novell as its parent company.
