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).
Very True.
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.
Total Agreement.
From the horses mouth:

Here is some food for thought on the Novell-MS deal.. may be biased.
