Thanks for that link. I would think if there were real concern on Novells part they would just publish the agreement in full, and produce detailed FAQs about it and all the hidden clauses, rather than resorting to an IRC channel for pete sake!
Actually it would be great if the execs who put together the deal DID resort to an IRC channel. Everyone present was just as clueless about the real motives as we all are.
If you're so distrustful of the motives of the executives, then why would you care what they wrote in an IRC chat? Face it, people do not and cannot know each other's minds. One speaks, the other listens and decides whether to believe what was said or not. In the end, the contracts and licenses are what matter, not what one person says or another person believes was the reason for entering into them.
