| 557946 | 2007-06-10 14:26:00 | Xandros CEO Andreas Typaldos said Thursday his company did not agree that its Linux distribution violates any Microsoft patents nor did the software giant ask Xandros to do so as part of the patent cross-licensing deal the two signed Monday. But he says feedback from the Linux community has been on the order of you shouldn t really be talking to the devil. Typaldos told Network World that at no time did Microsoft reveal to Xandros, which develops Linux desktops, servers and management tools, any of the 235 patents that Microsoft says Linux violates. [more] (www.pcworld.com) Looks like MS got a few more (www.pcworld.com), and still revealing nothing but FUD. |

Whilst the open source community should look at possible infractions and look at possible solutions, I believe that in the end MS has nothing hard, and Billy boy is again talking through his a$$ | Myth (110) | ||

| 557949 | 2007-06-11 02:57:00 | I suspect the next chapter will involve Redhat ...I'd be surprised if it does - Redhat has already come out publicly against what MS is doing, and has declared that it's not open to signing any such similar agreement. Redhat's customers also have no need to be nervous, because part of the RHEL contract states that Redhat will protect customers to the extent possible by law regarding patent lawsuits. | Erayd (23) | ||

The only other one I know of is Redhat). | Myth (110) | ||
