| For this to happen a Microsoft distributed Novell SLES coupon has to
| be used after at least one program licensed with the GPLv3 is
| included in the Novell SLES distro. So far Novell says they will
| include GPLv3 software in SLES. Microsoft, on the other hand,
| seems to realize their mistake.

Open Source Community to Microsoft: Bring It On

| Microsoft's business strategy is the equivalent of "don't buy his
| products or something bad will happen -- but we won't tell you
| what." In other words, it shows less sophistication than the
| average playground ruse. Nevertheless, it was enough for Novell
| -- responsible for the popular Suse distribution of Linux -- to
| enter last year into a mutual covenant not to sue over patent
| infringements.
