| Novell may be trying to figure out how to make a buck with Microsoft.
| And that is okay. Microsoft on the other hand seems willing to part
| with hundreds of millions of dollars if it can somehow invalidate the
| GPL or engage in business in such a way that it is ineffective. And
| for Microsoft ineffective means getting developers to stop making
| contributions of code under the GPL. And this is a deliberate attack
| by Microsoft upon all open source developers. Possible patent
| royalties are almost a side issue. Microsoft wants to discourage
| individual and corporate developers from using the GPL. Pure and
| simple. To think otherwise would be naive.
