http://boycottnovell.com

Moonlight’s cold reception was mentioned briefly just a couple of days ago, but let’s emphasise again why GNU/Linux users must not accept it; instead, they need to complaint or protest against Webmasters that adopt such ActiveX-like embrace & extend strategies.

Bringing Microsoft to the table: Can MS become an open source contributor?

http://zonker.opensuse.org

Novell is working with Microsoft to help Microsoft cooperate and contribute to open source projects under open source licenses, and sticking with the existing standards to do so. Keen observers of the tech industry might note that this is a bit of a rarity, but it’s something that I hope we’ll see more of from Microsoft.

http://boycottnovell.com

Novell’s recent news about China [1, 2, 3] is pretty significant because this shows what tricks Microsoft and Novell hope to make more widespread and prevalent around the world, not just in Asia. It’s a symbolic start that illustrates just why Novell has become dangerous to GNU/Linux adoption (contrary to common belief).

Bill Gates Ridicules the GPL While Novell Mops Up with Software Patents

http://boycottnovell.com

There is no substantial news here other than development of discussions, which seem to spread fairly fast from one blog to another blog and soon onto the press.
