Re: FSF Sucks

"Microsoft could use the same tactics, their agreement with Novell was before GPL so anything written into GPL3 comes after the contract so MS shouldnt be held by anything written into the GPL3."

Uh... So you think if MS release an update that has a new EULA, I can just ignore the new license because I bought the product (ie, did my deal with them) a while back?

There is already some core software coming out under GPL3. Samba will be a kicker. Most servers run it. Most people *buying* distros can't live without it. So what do Novell do?? Stay with the last GPL2 version, or include the new features of new versions under GPL3?

MS is screwed.... They might know how to drag court cases on for years, and they might have a huge lawyer budget... But FSF has the backing of many major companies who wouldn't think twice about backing the legal expenses.
