Novell and GPLv3: Let the Beatings Begin!

| Microsoft is not a friend to Linux, and to believe that their
| dealings with Novell are not part of a long-term plan to
| backdoor the Linux way of doing things is frankly laughable.
| Once you understand this, I will say that Novell has done a
| lot for the Linux community previously. As such, while faulting
| them in this whole matter is not easy for me, I can?t see how
| this entire thing is not going to prove to be troublesome a few
| years down the road.
