The deal that Novell signed on November 2nd (2006) is about to expire in 6 weeks or so. SUSE has renewed this deal but under different circumstances and clauses. It was less to do with patent assurances and more to do with injecting money into the only GNU/Linux distribution Microsoft makes money from (the other 3 have perished). Our plan is to continue to focus on patent aggression from Microsoft (e.g. against Android) and also from Apple, which started attacking Android/Linux with patents last year. Additionally, we are going to look at anti-competitive practices that merit government intervention. If there are any more area that we need to cover, please suggest so in the comments. ⬆

Oh my!
How many times do you need to get excited about it? How many times will you pretend this is bad and speak out about how you are against choice?
And how many times will you accuse companies who sue others of being "agressive" when you happen to be biased against that company but then claim companies you like who do the same thing are being "defensive" or reacting to attacks?
Why not work to be fair and reduce your *massive* bias?
