* Novell Bans Proprietary Linux Modules
posted by Thom Holwerda on Tue 1st Aug 2006 17:50 UTC, submitted by Moulinneuf
IconIn a change of heart, Novell has ceased distributing proprietary software modules such as 3D video drivers that plug into the Linux kernel. The change came with Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10, released in July. With the move, Novell is aligning itself with the Free Software Foundation, which shuns proprietary software in general but in particular loathes proprietary modules that run as a component of the open-source Linux kernel.
