Microsoft, is embracing Linux again. Not sure what is brewing, got this tidbit from www.theinquirer.net. From the article “Microsoft-Novell pact blasted by Open Saucer” there is one paragraph that is a little scary.
“The Volnovo pact will mean that non-commercial individual contributors can make Open Source, but if anyone actually uses it for something other than a hobby or a non-profit organisation Vole can bring a software patent lawsuit against them unless they are a Novell customer, he said.”
If you use Open Source for something other than a hobby you should pay Microsoft a “tribute”. I mean License fee. Say, this is starting to sound a little like the HBO’s Sopranos. Maybe we should start paying with cash in a little white envelope.
