Xandros CEO Defends Microsoft Deal
,----[ Quote ]
| Under the third version of the General Public License, expected
| to be published in final form this month by the Free Software
| Foundation, all such deals that were not inked by March 28 are
| forbidden. As a result, it would appear that Xandros will not
| be allowed to distribute open source code licensed under GPLv3
| because of its relationship with Microsoft. Typaldos said
| he's not concerned. "If you are a businessperson, you can't
| worry about every eventuality."
