To me, the author of that article appears just one more who did not
understand the Novell-MS deal. Novell did NOT get a Patent License (AFAI
understood), but only 'bought' the guarantee that, should Novell
infringe any patents, the Novell Users will not be sued. This will by no
way allow Novell just to go on and infringe all MS patents. Why: only
the Novell-USERS can not be sued. There was not a single word written
that NOVELL can not be SUED... which, in fact, anyhow would be much more
likely than MS suing any single user of any Linux distro.

But it's like this... bloggers blog to blog... but many just don't read
and understand what about they blog. sometimes a really bad story.
