Novell is like the villager who happily fills the village well every day. He gains trust that way. One day when everyone is asleep he brings over a monopolistic truck to the well, empties it, and pisses in what’s left for the village to drink.

It’s a metaphor.

Novell funds a lot Open Source software including software licensed under GPL. Canonical funds almost nothing and does almost nothing besides propaganda.

Sorry, troll alert fired, will not read the rest of your post.

I also won’t reply to your constant trolling.

Novell funds a lot Open Source software including software licensed under GPL. Canonical funds almost nothing and does almost nothing besides propaganda.

Your cowardice in linking the statement from mr. Greg Kroah-Hartman about the contributions of Canonical to the Linux kernel (you know the facts, something that you have a lot of difficulty) to Microsoft says a lot about your character.

As far as you know Mr. Greg Kroah-Hartman was not involved in any way in the agreement between Novell and Microsoft. Isn’t that true?

So why pick on this? Why do you consider that Mr. Greg Kroah-Hartman statements were an attack on Canonical?

Why do you defend Canonical and Ubuntu that includes proprietary software by default, that includes mono by default and mono-based applications by default?

Why don’t you recognize the contributions that Novell has made to a significant portion of open source applications and technologies? You attack them!

You do nothing more than the same thing that you accuse others of doing: FUD, fear mongering, personal attacks, defamation, smear… the list goes on.

And you also do censorship, you constantly delete my comments. How big an inferiority complex you have!
