This is now the second time that a distribution and the company behind has sold us down the river. The first time it was OpenLinux and Caldera. Now it is SLES/SLED/openSUSE and Novell. I appreciate the openSUSE != SUSE insofar as openSUSE is, ostensibly at least, a community project, but when Microsoft turns on Novell, _and they will_, I don't want to be around to get any on me. So long.
From the FAQ on the Novell site: "Microsoft is also pledging not to assert its patents against individual, non-commercial open source developers"
I wouldn't call that selling the users down the river. Independent of the fate of Novell the deal will stop worries about MS killing the open source movement with patents.
