Microsoft-Novell pact blasted by Open Saucer
,----[ Quote ]
| "A logical next move for Microsoft could be to crack down on
| "unlicensed Linux" and "unlicensed Free Software," now that it can
| tell the courts that there is a Microsoft-licensed path. Or they can
| just passively let that threat stay there as a deterrent to anyone
| who would use Open Source without going through the Microsoft-approved
| Novell path," Wickline said.
|
| The pact means that Vole will have Novell's assistance in pushing
| a pro-Software-patenting agenda in Europe and elsewhere, too.
|
| Wickline reckons that with the SCO case floundering, this is Vole's
| latest attempt to make Novell into the next SCO in a bid to sink Linux.
