We'd Better Keep Complaining About Microsoft & Novell/SUSE
 
This is an article about The Free Software Foundation reviewing Novell's right to sell Linux (for money..) so if we keep complaining, they'll have to stop or make it free with none of those patient agreement crap..

Anyone has the right to sell Linux for money. That is not the issue with the Novell/MS deal.

This has already been debunked: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS6837365670.html

This is about the next version of the GPL being written to prevent Novell pulling the same stunt with GPL v3 code. Nothing else. Novell is already acknowledged to be acting within GPL v2's terms, ergo nothing the FSF can say or do will stop them selling Suse.
