,----[ Quote ]
| Translating that into plain English, it says: If you distribute GPLd
| software and make a deal with another company who also distributes (some
| kind of) software, we will stop you from distributing the GPLd
| software if:
|
| a) you pay the other company
| b) the deal mentions the GPLd software
| c) you get a patent license
| d) the patent license mentions the GPLd software
| e) the patent license has more limited terms than the GPL license on the
| software

| Now that the third draft of GNU Public License (GPL) version 3
| is out the door, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) will be
| "actively" seeking out comments from the open source
| community--and officials expect to get particularly strong
| response around provisions involving the Novell/Microsoft
| deal and so-called "Tivo-ization" in embedded devices.
