Star Mandriva: 'Not Our Job to Pay Protection Money'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 19th Jun 2007 18:38 UTC, submitted by AdamW
Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris Mandriva has made a formal statement of its position regarding the recent Microsoft deals by other Linux vendors. "Up to now, there has been absolutely no hard evidence from any of the FUD propagators that Linux and open source applications are in breach of any patents. So we think that, as in any democracy, people are innocent unless proven guilty and we can continue working in good faith. So we don't believe it is necessary for us to get protection from MS to do our job or to pay protection money to anyone."

I don't use Mandriva. However, a statement like this makes them sound like the kind of company that I'd be interested in doing business with if the opportunity should ever arrive. Good for them.


Well, you'll have to sell your soul to the Mandriva Club.
Without being a member, you're just loitering.
