Very funny?? article from opensuse list. This was THE reason I dumped SuSE distro last November, and came over to Fedora Core 6. I was quite satisfied with running SuSE Linux untill MS's IP protection deal (racket??) with Novell came about.

Please keep up the good work with Fedora & RHEL.

Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat & Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted

----/----

From what I have read of the description, anything that uses X is a
violation of this "patent". (At least any Window Manager with a desktop switcher, which is just about all of them.)

The same set of trolls have filed suit against Apple using the same patent claims.

"IP Innovation LLC is a subsidiary of Acacia, and Acacia recently
appointed Brad Brunell, who worked for 16 years at Microsoft as
general manager, intellectual property licensing. He's now a senior
vice president. Other ex-Microsoft executives have also recently
migrated to Acacia."
