Free Software lawyer discusses Microsoft patent claims
,----[ Quote ]
| In basic terms, as Moglen explained to the online audience, the new
| version of the license would make Microsoft subject to the GPL,
| because of its distribution of Novell Suse Enterprise Linux
| coupons. Under the language of the license, Microsoft would
| then be prevented from pursuing patent claims against the
| broader Linux community. Not just Novell's Linux users
| would be protected.

Moglen: SUSE Vouchers Have No Expiration Date! (Unlike MS's Patent Bullying)
,----[ Quote ]
| This is news indeed. Todd Bishop has the story. Eben Moglen is saying
| that the SUSE vouchers Microsoft is distributing have no expiration
| date! I didn't know this. It's huge. This is, according to Moglen's
| remarks, another defense to any patent infringement claim by
| Microsoft, and it may well bring that campaign to a screeching halt.
