I've just realised that Red Hat, unlike Linspire and Xandros which get locked
out of GPLv3-licnsed code, understands what it happening. The FSF has just
prevented Linux companies from making patent deals and making it alive in the
Linux world. Novell get a relief from an exemption because the deal predates
March 28th (grandfather clause).
Subject line should be "Nonsense is" (wrote this in a hurry, as usual).
