The upstream maintainer decided to disable some algorithm as he thinks it might infringe patents. This happened just incidentally close to the Novell-Microsoft agreement. Neither Novell nor openSUSE didn't do anything. See also: http://www.novell.com/prblogs/?p=318

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. -- Dominique Leuenberger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org TMF is a global management and accounting outsourcing firm with 72 offices in 56 countries and over 2,000 professionals (February 2007).
