Just a waste of moneyJust a waste of moneyPosted Jun 7, 2007 19:23 UTC (Thu) by coriordan (guest, #7544)In reply to: Just a waste of money by JoeBuck Parent article: Another day another Microsoft patent deal
That MS do the paying is probably a sign that they don't really have confidence in their patent claims (as argued recently by FSFE). But even with the cash injections, I think Novell and Xandros are paying too high a price for these deals. They're drawing a lot of bad will and losing customers, and it will be all for nothing when GPLv3 is released. (Novell may have gained some customers temporarily, but those customers aren't going to be overjoyed with the idea of no longer upgrading their software.)
