So, please enlighten me in case I have made any error here: Ok..
At this point in time M$ has not one word to say ... and that I believe is the entire point of your entire previous post... and you're missing the issue. The issue is the *future* of Novell-Mickey-Office-Linux... and the impact the *cross licensing* in the *future* will have upon Suse, the Linux community, and the open source movement in general. If Novell teams up with M$ then Suse in the *future* will no longer have the trust of the open community. Do you honestly believe that Suse will honor the GPL with M$ in their pocket? Well, if I were you (cause it won't be me) when you load Suse 10.2 I would recommend that you read the license agreement *very* carefully... cause I'm willing to bet that it changes dramatically... and I am also willing to bet that M$ lawyers are going to help write it. Bye bye Suse. On the other hand... Ubuntu is safe... for the moment. I thought I could trust Novell. I was apparently quite mistaken about that... otherwise, I think I know what I'm talking about here. -- Kind regards, M Harris <><
