The Free Software Foundation is reviewing Novell's right to sell new versions of Linux operating system software after the open-source community criticized Novell for teaming up with Microsoft. "The community of people wants to do anything they can to interfere with this deal and all deals like it.

Update: The FSF claims this is being hyped.

Is like allowing gay marriage one day and then saying the other day "You know what, I think I gave you to much freedom so i'll revoke gay marrige".
That's exactly what the Novell-Microsoft deal is like. Incl. the spelling errors :p
