I think to be fair for the "poor innocent" SMU OS3 group that organize
this talk, leave them a room space to have this opportunity to allow
student at least to know what are some possibilities of using open
source in the corporate world. Perhaps in the future other parties from
other companies can come in to share on the experiences as well. It is
definitely not going to restrict to Novell alone.
They may be the first to be there is that they are offering the package
for the SMU students. Nevertheless it does not constrain others to enter
and share on their viewpoint and experience if they are able to
introduce this open source spirit and its community to people who are
new to it. Especially to business students who are easily deceived by
the choices available or ease of usage on proprietary over open source.
I hereby would like to thanks the wonderful new committee that took over
from us (previous exco members) and had this initiative.
Cheers,
Eunice Tan
Ex-CEO of SMU Open Source Software Society

He's just being sarcastic that Novell is being called to give talks to

Microsoft. GPLv3 is supposed to block such exclusive agreement in the
future.
In that case he should make a plackard summarizing his grievances.
Come up with a catchy slogan , and picket the SMU entrance, heckling
all who dare enter :D
