[News] [Rival] Why Microsoft Hates GPLv3 with Passion

GPL to undermine Microsoft's Novell deal?

,----[ Quote ]
| According to the comments, reproduced by the Seattle PI, it seems the act 
| of purchasing Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) using 
| certificates that have been distributed by Microsoft will trigger 
| protection for the community from potential prosecution by Microsoft over 
| alleged violations of its IP in Linux and open source.
|
| In other words, Microsoft will be helping undermine its own agreement
| not to sue customers of Novell, signed last November.
