Microsoft Office Pro 2007 produit cl�� Novell publ

Novell has posted to the Securites and Exchange Commission (SEC) Web web site redacted versions of the company;s patent,Office Professional Plus 2007 Serial cl��, enterprise and technology agreements with Microsoft,Microsoft Office 2007 Standard, which it signed in November 2006.Novell officials stated previously this week they would publish these documents prior to the end of Might possibly. The enterprise launched the filings late on May well 25, the begin of a three-day holiday weekend inside the U.S.Did something juicy make it past the “marked as confidential” cuts? Groklaw has highlightsof some of the documentation specific to the Microsoft-Novell patent arrangements:“If the final version of GPLv3 contains terms or conditions that interfere with our agreement with Microsoft or our ability to distribute GPLv3 code, Microsoft may cease to distribute SUSE Linux coupons in order to avoid the extension of its patent covenants to a broader range of GPLv3 software recipients,Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Serial, we may perhaps need to modify our relationship with Microsoft under less advantageous terms than our current agreement,Microsoft Office 2007 Keygen, or we could be restricted in our ability to include GPLv3 code in our products,Microsoft Office Pro 2007 produit cl��, any of which could adversely affect our enterprise and our operating results. In such a case, we would likely explore alternatives to remedy the conflict, but there is no assurance that we would be successful in these efforts.”So now it;s even more obvious why Microsoft has been throwing around the “235 patents infringed by open source” claim. Novell is confirming that Microsoft could have to stop distributing SuSE Linux coupons if the Free Software Foundation;s General Public License (GPL) version 3 goes through using the current patent language in place.Having to eliminate the SuSE distribution part of its Novell agreement would hurt Microsoft;s campaign to convince other open-source vendors to sign similar deals. It also wouldn;t make Microsoft look too good to the handful of large corporate customers (that Microsoft touts every chance it gets) who Microsoft has convinced to go with SuSE Linux.There is a lot more legal mumbo-jumbo on the SEC web page regarding the Microsoft-Novell deal. Anyone see any other interesting nonredacted info?
