I just saw this:
Microsoft Agreement with Novell
They're unbelievable!
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Supporters of the free PC operating system Linux are preparing to counter a recent Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) deal which established for the first time the principle of paying the software giant to use Linux.
Microsoft signed a deal with Novell Inc. (NOVL.O: Quote, Profile, Research), one of the providers of Linux, in which Novell paid a lump sum in return for a guarantee that Microsoft would not sue Novell's clients for what it calls a violation of its own patents in the Linux program.
