Re: Microsoft May Indemnify Some Red Hat Linux Users

["john s." <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  I ran FC and OpenSuse on different machines (laptop and desktop)- didn't think OpenSuse was/isn't that great a piece of software... I thought its curious that MS partnered with Novell.... I posted a note to one of the OpenSuse mailing lists- the way I was treated made me wipe the desktop and install FC. :-)

Seems to me, that's just plain nonsense, for both Red Hat and Novell.
What's going on?
    

I'm not what you mean "for both Red Hat and Novell". Do you mean on 
Microsoft's part? Their approaches to Microsoft's motions have been very 
different. It is not clear at all that any Novell-type agreement is 
necessary, and unless Red Hat's legal counsel and developers determine that 
an agreement is necessary, why would they want to go down this road? I have 
been a full-time Linux-only user for 9 years now, and while technological 
superiority is the reason for a very large part of my loyalty, politics has 
been also. I ditched my copy of OpenSuse last week.
