Yes, but this means you missed the whole point. The whole point in the deal is really, effectively, FUD. That is what MS paid for. FUD with even a tiny bit of backing is extremely valuable because people are either gullible or unwilling to take risks. It's just that Novell has not realized this yet and is giving MS precisely what it wants. Let me quote PJ: 1. to try to prove that the GPL is not legally binding and so can be violated in order to make some money, honey. 2. Another goal was to cast a legal cloud over Linux, so in the enterprise, PHBs would be afraid to employ it for fear of legal consequences of possibly violating SCO's "IP". 3. And also there was the apparent goal of forcing Linux to cost something Point is really valid. Deal does lot more harm to the community than it does help. -- // Janne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
