[News] Another Open Letter to Ballmer, Requesting Specific Details

Dear Mr. Ballmer

,----[ Quote ]
| I am requesting that you state, with specificity, the patent numbers,
| which countries are they valid in, and when do they expire? I would like
| to review my options, including whether the patents you claim are indeed
| valid and apropos. Also, what are the license terms that Microsoft is
| requesting for usage of these patented innovations for an end user? How
| much for a distributor?

The blogspot placeholder has moved to this new domain. "Boycott Novell, not
the Opensuse community" is the punchline.

Please stay out of there, Bailo. You have already stirred up enough problems
with your egocentric views in boycottnovell.com.

Even Jo Foley seems reasonable in this debate...

If Linux violates Microsoft's patents, let?s see the proof

| So what does Ballmer know that Novell and others don't -- or won't
| admit? Some are saying Ballmer is doing nothing but trying to spread
| FUD -- to make non-Novell/SuSE customers worried that they might be
| targets of Microsoft lawsuits.

Quite an unusual stance for her to take. Also, an unusual number of comment
for this not-so-popular blogger. This indicates that even Softies have
become tired of Microsoft's unethical approach/es. Ballmer will be
remembered as the one who sank the ship and ran away with the $billions.
