Hi all !
Since we have made a deal with MS about patents, I would like to ask
include MS-patented Windows Media Codecs (WMA/WMV) with both openSUSE
10.2 and future SUSE versions... (including Enterprise). The code
exists (on packman sites - the only problem was patents, which is
solved now).
After all, we must use that pact to our advantage.
What do you think ?
Novell has no deal with Microsoft about patents. Novell can't ship patented
stuff.
The only deal that was made is, if ever patented stuff is found, MS will not
sue customer and viceversa, but the code will be removed anyway.
You know. 1% of the population can undertand what they read, that is why we
get so much fud in the blogs, and now those fashion "Goodbye SUSE I am
changing distro announcements".
