Munich halts biggest-ever Linux migration The biggest ever Windows-to-Linux migration - the city of Munich's 14,000 desktop switch - has been put on ice while legal issues are settled. The move has been temporarily suspended over fears incoming EU legislation could cause the city a huge patent headache. Munich's pro-Linux, Green Party alderman Jens Muehlhaus has spotted 50 potential patent problems. Until they've been sorted, the migration is on hold. The planned call for bids on the 'LiMux project' - due for next week - has been stopped as Muelhaus feared that in the result of a patent clash, the city could be forced to pay for extra licensing fees or even shut down its IT systems. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
