First CEO to Lose Their Job Over Microvell?
,----[ Quote ]
| Bruce Perens says Stuart got the axe in part because he gave his
| blessing to the Microsoft-Novell deal, and some OSDL members
| didn't like that. "It's buying into a Microsoft FUD campaign that
| damages the business of many members," Bruce writes via email.

Bruce also said: "Patents aren't legit. Seems a bit convenient that when laws
don't suit you, you simply claim the laws are illegitimate."
