[Mailinglist] Novell May be Banned from Distributing Linux

[Binny V Abraham]

Hi everybody,

I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad
thing...

Reuters is reporting that Novell may be banned from
selling Linux. In the wake of the (much maligned)
Novell/Microsoft deal, the Free Software Foundation is
reviewing Novell's right to sell the operating system
at all. The foundation controls the rights to key
parts of the operating system, and council for the
organization said that 'the community wants to
interfere any way it can' with the Novell business
arrangement. No decision has yet been reached, but one
should be made in the next two weeks
