I am worried though about the contrary, the effects of this on the rest of the FOSS community. At least in my region, we got some flak from the previous deals, and I feel this one will not be an exception.
yeah, this is one of the main problem. From the corporate point of view it´s kinda great to have such deal, but the community point of view is much much worse. I sometimes post to an Linux-forum and sometimes talk about the patent-deal. That the other members call me and SUSE "idiots and traitors on open source and the FLOSS-community" is normal. I´m really disappointed about that :-( -- Kim Leyendecker (kdl@k-dl.de.vu) openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE HAVE A LOT OF FUN! http://www.opensuse.org Have you tried SUSE Studio?
