In the mean time... take a look at history... when has cross-licensing ever been a good thing for anyone except the patent shark?
*NEVER*
So it's probably good then that this deal wasn't a cross licensing agreement Who are you trying to kid?
That's all this deal is... and its been made as public as it gets... upfront money will be exchanged to eliminate patent infringement (and law suit) from either side... that's called cross licensing... and it spells very bad tidings for a large share of Novell's user base, as well as the open source movement in general. This is not a good thing. (quietly speaking) -- Kind regards, M Harris <><
