Quote of the Day: Why Novell Might Already be Violating the GPL
Interesting insight:
I was wondering in the wake of the recent patent lawsuit filed against TomTom by Microsoft, what would happen if SFLC would start looking into the GPL compliance of Novell Linux. Let’s say somebody knocks at Novell’s door asking to see how many GPLd pieces of code are being mentioned in their patent agreement with Microsoft. For example, are they distributing FAT kernel components under GPL while paying for Microsoft licenses for that technology?
Of course they might deny everything but this will make Microsoft happier knowing Novell lies…
