Interesting how Roy's interpretation is usually extremely biased and
dishonest.
Just because the word "selfish" exists in a article doesn't mean that Novell
admits they are selfish. Read the article and take the paragraph in the
proper context. It simply says that it's in Novell's best interest to remove
any inhibitors that interfere with linux and open source. How convenient for
Roy to be dishonest and twist this into "Novell admits they are selfish" and
try to make an issue where there clearinly isn't one.
