Dammit. And I was enjoying contributions Novell was making to Linux.

It looks like Novell just realy screwed up badly. REALY BADLY. And they think they did a good thing.

I feel so sorry for the Linux people that work for them. Their management just got suckered in by Microsoft in a bad way and they aren't going to find out how badly until probably 3-4 years from now.

Novell just inadvertantly went in with Microsoft in a sceme were they are basicly agreeing that MS should be allowed to sue any open source software developer anywere that doesn't happen to work for Novell and works for a living.

Yes! But I think that in a very sort time, they'll have no developer and
no costumer. For sure -1 costumer ;) Bye, bye suse. Good morning fedora!

No, alonso was right. If they go wrong, nobody will be dressing them anymore.

That is, they'll have no redress.

(sorry)
