Microsoft cleared the air July 5 on its obligations to GNU General Public License Version 3 support, declaring it will not provide support or updates for GPLv3 under the deal it penned in November with Novell to administer certificates for the Linux distribution. Microsoft also said July 5 that its agreement with Novell, as well as those with Linux rivals Xandros and Linspire, were unaffected by the release June 29 of GPLv3 by the Free Software Foundation.

Like their own operating systems Vista Enterprise/Ultimate edition, that include Services For Unix, that include FSF's GPL-licensed gcc toolchain and other works.
They also sell Novell's SUSE distribution, that includes GPL-licensed code.
