By accepting 'patent coverage', Novell are giving credence to FUD that users of Linux are in danger of being sued for patent violations. I am disgusted, I am changing distros, and I am sorry for the people who work at SuSE, so that's what I wrote: who are you to tell me I shouldn't? Andreas Hanke wrote:

To all the people at SuSE, I know this isn't your fault, and I'm sorry I have to stop using your excellent work. I'm sad to have to change to another distro, I've been a fanboy since SuSE 8.0, but this deal is just disgusting.
Ah, I see.
Nobody gets what "this" deal is about, but you already know that it forces you to stop using the distribution. Highly interesting.
Can you please read the announcement and point out which of the following prevents you from using the distribution:
Patent coverage Virtualization Virtualization Management Office Open XML Collaboration Framework Mono, OpenOffice and Samba
The mailinglist setup is right, this is SPAM. Use one of the existing "I have been a SUSE fanboy since 231847941 years and now switching to [A-Z]Ubuntu" threads. We already have enough of them. Just post "me too" into the other threads.
