Should we really reject code from Novell?

| Our battle is not about escaping software patents infringement.

| to fight the MS-Novell deal in the area of their patent covenant then
| support GPLv3 and urge as many developers as possible to switch to it.
| Then, the covenant that MS made with Novell will cover and protect more
| and more of the Free Software code upon which Microsoft wont be able to
| sue (because, per the GPLv3, they have promised not to sue anyone who
| touches the code that supposedly infringes their patents).
