Novell and Partners “License” SUSE, Just Like Linspire

Check out the latest Novell newsletter. A reader has just sent us a copy, highlighting some bits from it.

"BrainShare€® March 8-13 2009 Novell€® BrainShare€® [...] Register today at the early-bird price of $1,695.00."

"Novell and Microsoft have announced the availability of a joint virtualisation solution optimised for customers running mixed-source environments.."

Says the reader: "got that?

"It's MIXED SOURCE."

Additionally, our reader takes apart the bit which says:

"...educational institutions are entitled to a free 30-user Desktop Multiplier licence (hardware not included)..."

The reader summarises this as "Novell innovates the restricted user license." To quote further from the newsletter:

"...with the Novell Teaming Starter Pack program, you can get 20 licenses of the product absolutely free..."

Linspire is no more, but it found itself in hot water after requesting that users license and never distribute the software. Novell treads in iffy territories.
