Novell document dump makes it look like a scandal

| Somehow, I don't think playing the same games the Nixon and Bush

Novell's deal with Microsoft made mostly public

| Steinman answered that: "Right now, the GPLv3 is still in discussion.
| The latest draft of GPLv3 is in discussion. According to the latest
| version that was published on, I think, March 28, under that version,
| Novell will be able to ship Linux under a GPLv3. Period. There's
| nothing in the current draft of GPLv3 that prevents Novell from
| shipping Linux. What about forking? There's no need to have that
| discussion because the current draft of GPLv3 allows us to ship
| Linux. It's still in discussion though so we have to wait and see
| what the final version is?.
|
| That is good news for Novell, but their filing states that "Ift
| he Free Software Foundation (FSF) releases a new version of the
| GNU General Public License with certain currently proposed terms,
| our business may suffer harm".

The writer has pro-Novell bias. It's not the first time that he shows this.
