I agree with you on that. Novell were daft to sign anything on MS headed
paper, but they still deliver (IMHO) the best of the Linux server distros
and one of the best client orientated Linux'x, with SLES and SLED.
I'm not going to abandon the best of Linux just to satisfy the Linux
activists. I did seriously think of doing that when the agreement first
came up, but in the end that agreement doesn't actually make any difference
to us on the ground.
There is also the point that MS still has the majority of desktops, Linux
has no choice but to work with MS at some levels. If you want to make a
difference in this world you have to be inside the tent pissing out, not
outside the tent pissing in.
