This was in the November 2008 copy of Linux Journel and I had never seen such an article previously. I had seen threads in this newslist a couple of years ago but never in a published mag before. I am not proclaiming the sky is falling or anything like it, but am quite curious if there is anything to the article that one should take seriously. Given the '>deal' with MS was about 2 years ago, we would still have 3 years of 'safety', but if there is anything to the article, you don't want to wait until the lawyers start sending out their little notices either. I personally hope Novell was/is smart enough to trump any 'Aces' that M$ might think it has with this deal. SuSE certainly is my choice of OS.
I know several people who swore off SuSE when that happened, and AFAIK, they have all migrated back. Personally, I could care less. Even IF M$ is able to sue, they can never remove linux from those of us who use it and don't care about all that software patent nonsense. If nothing else, I will use it or one of the BSDs and NOT WinDoZe, so they wouldn't lose anything anyway.
