Novell's profit slumps; Microsoft business drops
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation, which controls licensing of open source
| code, has criticized the partnership. The Foundation is expected to
| soon release a new version of an open source license that could
| punish Novell, by preventing the company from distributing future
| versions of open source software.
| Hovsepian declined to comment on the new license, which is still in
| draft form. "When we see the final draft then we'll have a better
| way to respond," Hovsepian said.
