The World According to Novell

,----[ Quote ]
| First, this paragraph implies that Eben 
| Moglen supported the Microsoft/Novell deal 
| â flatly untrue, but perhaps we can just 
| chalk this up to the authorâs word choice.
| 
| Second is the direct quote though that 
| states Mr. Moglen approved of the 
| Microsoft/Novell deal, which is a very 
| strange word choice indeed for the man who 
| co-authored the GPLv3 and positioned it 
| explicitly as a method to âkill the 
| Microsoft Novell dealâ.
| 
| [...]
| 
| This is a clear distortion that Novell has 
| constantly trotted out. They used the same 
| sort of misdirection on the now-removed 
| OpenSUSE Novell Microsoft FAQ, where they 
| selectively quoted RMS...
| 
| This is a prime example of the dishonesty 
| of Novell apologists and mouthpieces. 
| Thereâs a lot more that could be said about 
| this one bit, but letâs move on.
| 
| [...]
| 
| The implication of this quote â that Novell 
| has somehow brought Microsoft to Jesus over 
| Linux â is laughable in the extreme. Novell 
| has done nothing but serve Microsoftâs best 
| interests since the Microsoft/Novell deal.

Miguel, Microsoft and the drool factor

| When he writes about Microsoft, it
| resembles the kind of writing that a kid
| does when he gets a shiny, new toy. De
| Icaza drools over technology announcements
| from the big M - and he ensures that
| people know he is in that state by signing
| off "droolingly yours."
