Dear all, In midst of the Microsoft Linux deals, Novell, Xandros, Linspire, ..., etc. The question arises will Red Hat fall into Microsoft's deals? http://biz.yahoo.com/seekingalpha/070614/38396_id.html?.v=1 Inquiring minds want to know. I hope that it does not fall into these kinds of pacts.
These deals have 0% to do with law and 100% to do with politics/PR (something that could likely be said about software patents in general). MS is trying hard to divide the community with moves like these. Novell/Linspire/Xandros should be cautious about getting into bed with MS just to try give Redhat a bloody nose or isolate them as some sort of business-unfriendly communists. I believe that protecting their customers has little to do with their motivation.
