Actually your example is not correct, because the agreement is that MS will not sue Novell customers as well. So - it looks like more as "protection business" as in the old Chicago times. Translation: We will not steal cars from your parking lot, so your customers are safe. But we do not promise this to your competitors. And this is while there is a good and working law against stealing.
I agree with that. Patent protection with Novell will hurt all FOSS/FLOSS community and developers. I do not want that... Goksin Akdeniz -- www.enixma.org
