It seems the more money you have the more corrupt you are. I cannot believe how Greedy some people are. Come on Microsoft take me to court I just slammed you, lets make it public knowledge. Parasite. You dont invent anything you steal it, add very little and slap your name on it. I have just discovered how much I enjoy Linux, (pronounced Freedom)

Microsoft is putting a lot of proprietary patented software into Linux through Novell. Most of the good guys at Novell have left the company. Microsoft is doing this so that they can sue and threaten other companies like redhat, ubuntu, ibm who support Linux/FOSS once enough code is injected. They want to put a price-tag on Linux. Novell is just another microsoft sponsored company. Commercialize Linux. Google for "evangelism is war" and "halloween documents" http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20071023002351958 Lot of things are happening under the surface that dont appear in any press. But be very careful with Microsoft/Novell. They are out to destroy Linux at all cost under the hood. Check the recent news about partner ship of Novell with Microsoft.

Its the FOSS developers who hardwork Novell sold out. Richard stallman, Bruce Perens, Samba team, FSF has called a Novell a sellout. Many hardcore FOSS developers have boycotted Novell version of Linux. Check out : http://boycottnovell.com Novell the next SCO : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/07/perens_on_ms_novell/ You can find more ugly details of the deal here : http://techp.org/petition/show/1 Microsoft in infiltrating the FOSS and disrupting them by signing license deals using patent threats. It is joining the FOSS camps by using money and spreading FUD. It has even inflitrated the OSI using money and pressure tactics. It wants to put a license cost on Linux. You will soon have to pay to microsoft to use Linux. It main aim is to shutdown Linux using patents and lawyers. Please sign this petition to bring the old debain leader (Bruce Perens) back in the OSI to stop microsoft from doing so : http://techp.org/p/7 @dsailesh
