Novell is about to face FSF lawsuit to ban its Linux release

Article title: Novell is about to face FSF lawsuit to ban its Linux release. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

After Novell and Mircosoft signed a cooperation agreement last year, many people are wondering what the result will be. The previous Wal-Mart's use of SUSE should be regarded as one of them, the lawsuit facing Novell may be a good thing.

"The community of people wants to do anything they can to interfere with this deal and all deals like it. they have every reason to be deeply concerned that this is the beginning of a significant patent aggression by Microsoft. "It means that many people in the free and open-source communities want FSF to sue Novell for" betrayal ".

However, I still have some doubts. FSF does not have full control over Linux. you can check the Linux patent owner. it is still Linus, But Linus only provides one kernel, many of the software actually works are controlled by FSF. for example, Gnome and some basic software, I was wondering whether Linus and FSF are not compatible in the near future. will Linus consider developing Linux independently.

Novell did not respond, saying it would wait until they sued for further action. Novell has made great contributions to the open-source community. they first made the XGL code public, but now xorg has directly supported aiglx.
