The Source has just found this little blooper which suggests that Novell has ghostwriters. We captured more evidence of this before, about 2 years ago. Some of the executives of Novell either do not write their posts or do not write them alone (or use the assistance of technical people to run their blogs, by proxy so to speak). Bill Gates' latest PR charades on the Web are pretty much the same. It's all marketing and part of the branding of "Bill Gates", whose crimes the PR effort is trying to erase with the help of irresponsible reporters. ⬆

Ghostwriting is indeed controversial and AFRIK far from a new topic. If you do a Google search on "ghostwritten blogs", you can find a lot of articles about it.

First link is now broken and second one now works, so Novell execs wasn't ghostwriting.
Richard Stallman's seminal manifesto and foundational (practical) work on GNU gave us a very solid system that facilitates productive work without concerns over spyware
"Enshittification" is a term coined by an online friend; I increasingly use this term to describe what's happening even outside the realm of technology (which it was adopted to describe)
Summary: New evidence of ghostwriters in Novell's own Web site
