No, I actually like Novell, but I'm worried about what they did and I hope they
can reverse/retract. Every Saturday I still post material in defence of
Novell. As far as the deal goes, it's all against Novell.

I have no affiliation with the FSF (neither a mental tie, nor a membership). I
care about being able to run on Free softwar (e.g. Linux) and the GPL is
needed for this. Novell turns Linux into what Windows is. It's just a
proprietary stack on top of open source foundations. And patents, and
technology Microsoft controls...
*sigh*
I added a new page this morning and I hope it succinctly explains why the deal
is horrid. http://boycottnovell.com/no-to-novell/
