> > Neither do we, neither does Novell. > I suppose it is the case. On the contrary such agreements only hurts FLOSS/FOSS. The community has a tradion backing to UNIX days which in short can be expressed with the term "rebellion". Such characteristic of a tradition leads to bashing of companies or anything like M$-Novell agreement.
M$ can not sue Novell for any patent infringement as long as the code is developed free of M$. In fact in a software company only some can view the all sourcecode not all employees. So a deal such as Novell-M$ does not make sense. In the case of SCO, m$ supported SCO and lawsuit between IBM and SCO is not settled yet. Even for the Wordperfect for between Novell and M$. Novell and M$ declares not to sue each other but rest is still is not clear. I am not happy with that agreement. I will wait and see. Goksin Akdeniz -- www.enixma.org
