What Novell could learn from Google
,----[ Quote ]
| In short, Google may have been willing to accept a legal fight in
| order to protect its ability to mine video for money, yes, but also
| to protect fair use rights for video on the Internet. If true, very
| laudable.
|
| And very different from Novell's actions vis-a-vis Linux. Novell
| claims to want to sell and proliferate Linux. But it has taken the
| exact wrong strategy to do so. Instead of protecting Linux and
| standing up for its integrity, Novell has slandered its reputation
| with its dubious Microsoft pact. However Novell may want to color
| it, the agreement implies that Linux is "Unclean!"
|
| A better strategy, then, would have been to stand up to Microsoft,
| rather than to lie down and grovel before it. This would have made
| Novell a champion, rather than the pariah it has become. There is
| precedent for this, too, as Novell stood up to SCO in a similar
| situation several years back.
|
| You can do better, Novell.

Hovsepian's regrets nothing while Steinman apologizes
,----[ Quote ]
| While Hovsepian has no regrets the same cannot be said for Justin
| Steinman, Novell's director of marketing for Linux and Open
| Platform Solutions, who has been forced to issue an apology
| following misleading statements about Novell's contribution
| to the Free Software Foundation.
