So he is the actual bother, the other one is only in his head. We have not seen any Microsoft legal-action but we certainly have seen a lot of hate-mail/hate-posting from Roy.

I would see more danger in things, like Mono deployment, patents licensing etc. I don't mind SUSE / OpenSUSE, because it's true, that Novell did quite a lot of good in the GNU/Linux world. But this is not good. I don’t think the problem lies in the actual payment for exactly the same software. I would see more danger in things, like Mono deployment, patents licensing etc.

There are many so-called 'communities' and some of them believe that it's perfectly fine for Microsoft to rattle sabers and charge you $100 for a program written by volunteers once in 3 years. I don't agree with that and I consider this an act of racketeering. There is no “the community”.

I think otherwise. You go round spreading hate against numerous Linux-distributions. That much is fact. And this makes you an enemy to the community. That is what you say. I think otherwise.

In case you have not seen it yet, Microsoft is using Novell to attack all Linux distributions by charging them for snake oil. If Microsoft is permitted to achieve this with Novell, that's a problem for Free software as a whole (and not just for GNU/Linux). This is not a distro war.

Who insults other Linux-distros soils his own bed. Pisses into the soup he's eating. Shits in the linnens he sleeps in. Maybe that explains the stench emanating from this blog..
