Slashdot has an article linking to a groklaw piece on why they thing the MS/Novell deal is very very bad.

Now, whether PJ is just freaking out because of the SCO case or there is clear and present danger to the Linux ecosystem I'm not sure at this moment.
I don't know all the details either. However, while I greatly respect PJ I suspect this time she's giving the impression that emotion is clouding her judgment, and making it difficult to determine if she is in fact correct. Some of what she has posted on this matter is incorrect.
Notwithstanding the very good coverage of SCO Vs IBM/Novell; she really should stick to commenting on matters of law, not matters of technology which she clearly has a piss poor understanding of. Either that or the supposedly impartial Groklaw just let slip some bias after all. Take your pick...
