Suffering FUD about M$-Novell? Jeremy Allison’s departure may help you
First: who is Jeremy Allison? He is the lead developer of Samba, the glue between M$ and non-M$ systems, used by every gnu/linux distros and by MacOS.
Second: what’s the M$-Novell agreement? Ok, you have lived under a stone for a couple of months. Look for info about it with you favorite search engine or read the article on Groklaw.
So: Jeremy was working at Novell. When Novell agreed with the evil, the Samba team publicly asked them to reconsider the agreement.
After a couple of weeks, Jeremy resigned from Novell, and joined Google!
I haven’t read all the papers: I’m not a Suse user and I will never become one, so I was not interested in such another EEE implementation.
I had not a clear position about the agreement. I still don’t have one, but surely Jeremy’s departure clears the way for a total embrace of the BoycottNovell cause.
