Nobody gets what "this" deal is about, but you already know that it forces you to stop using the distribution. Highly interesting.
The problem seems to be the more one learns the worse it gets. The issue for many I think, is that SUSE is now part of the Microsoft FUD machine, and no details of any deal will or can change this. Having Steve Balmer threatening other Linux distros and users using SUSE as leverage, sure leaves a bad taste in the mouth. 'The distributors of other versions of Linux cannot assure their customers that Microsoft won't sue for patent infringement. "If a customer says, 'Look, do we have liability for the use of your patented work?' Essentially, If you're using non-SUSE Linux, then I'd say the answer is yes," Ballmer said.' from eWeek http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2050848,00.asp?kc=EWEWEMNL103006EP17A Pflodo Peter Flodin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
