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.

i believe the horse has spoken.... err i mean neighed :D
then again it IS interesting there are two sets of contradicting quotes on
this online.
/me ponders conspiracies
not really.. theres is some confusion. lets do it once again ;-)
This link "http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7924011302.html"; that you
sent talks about Robert Love.. on this page you'll find this statement
"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." (extra emphasis on
Love added by me).
While "Jeremy" publicly states his reason for leaving novell.. Robert
has been quoted by "DesktopLinux" as *not* leaving novell because of the
deal. So "Robert" is the horse that we want to neigh.. the above
redherring link is where "Jeremy" is the horse.
Somehow, i seem to type horse as horde (the php framework) by default..
/me needs a vacation.
