el Sr. Moglen dice que :

[...] he sees GPL issues in the agreement that need resolving. What is the danger? Moglen sees that Microsoft is dividing the commercial and noncommercial sectors of the FOSS community, and then after they do that, "Microsoft then will be able to use its patents to sue to block the development of software in the non-commercial sector without the fear of suing its own customers, which is the force that now constrains them from misbehavior with their patent portfolio."

( El Sr. Moglen, presidente del Software Freedom Law Center, es el encargado de estudiar si hay alguna violación de la GPL en el pacto Microsoft/Novell.)

Obviamente está un poco "influenciado" por la FSF, pero lleva toda la razón del mundo, es un pacto ante todo peligroso porque Novell podría legitimar ante un juez lo de que "Linux uses our intellectual property", Mr. Ballmer dixit.
