What about Nat Friedman?What about Nat Friedman?Posted Dec 22, 2006 15:44 UTC (Fri) by dmantione (guest, #4640)In reply to: What about Nat Friedman? by Arker Parent article: Jeremy Allison Has Resigned from Novell to Protest MS Patent Deal (Groklaw)
There is nothing Novell or any other *third* party can do to make *me* violate the GPL. I have licensed the software under an automatically granted license from the *original* authors.
The *original* authors granted Novell a license to grant me this automatic license, and so on.
As soon as I have received the software, I have an agreement with the original authors (they are the only ones who can sue for copyright infringement).
Novell is no longer a party in the license agreement and thus can do nothing to invalidate *my* agreement with the original authors
