"" "'We did not discuss patents [with Microsoft] and we don't think Linux violates any patents and we were not asked about it,' Typaldos said. 'It is a non-issue for us.'" ""

Why in the heck did Xandros signed a patent cross-deal then ??... for fun ??
And how many patents(if any) does Xandros hold ?

FEAR... regretfully those that 'bended' to the capones, dutch shultzs and lucky lucianos of the world, have been their resource providers and are unavoidably part of the mob...

"" He said the technologies will help Xandros integrate its Linux-based server and management software with like software from Microsoft ""

How come interoperability, specially when M$ as been mandated by court of law and regulatory bodys to provide documentation and APIs for interoperability, needs a patent deal ?

THE BIG QUESTION SHOULD BE :

How many patents does M$ violate from the *warchest* that IBM, RH and Novell put up in defense of OSS ??

It dosent need to have source code available to have a positive outlook!... and many are a show stop to M$ business, i belive...

All wars should be avoidables, but if nobody is willing to fight, then all that is left is being worst then 'slaves' at the hands of evil godfathers...

Then the appeal would be, with much reason i belive, for a rapid transition to GPLv3... and patent litigation readyness, if need be!
