GPL 3: Coming Saturday?
,----[ Quote ]
| [Stallman:] Novell and Microsoft have tried a new method: using
| Microsoft's patents to give an advantage to Novell customers only.
| If they get away with scaring users into paying Novell, they will
| deny users the most basic freedom, freedom zero: the freedom to
| run the program.
|
| Microsoft have been threatening free software with software patents
| for many years, but without a partner in our community, the only
| thing it could do was threaten to sue users and distributors. This
| had enough drawbacks that Microsoft has not yet tried it. Attacking
| in combination with a collaborator in our community was much more
| attractive.
