Software behemoth Microsoft could be one of the biggest losers from proposed license changes to the Linux operating system unveiled Wednesday. That's a possible outcome of updates to the license pushed by the FSF. The FSF wants to make mutually exclusive pacts such as the Novell-Microsoft open-source agreement a violation of the next iteration of the GNU GPL, the license that governs Linux use. "It is unfortunate that the FSF is attempting to use the GPLv3 to prevent future collaboration among industry leaders to benefit customers," said Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft's vice president of intellectual property and licensing.

It is also amusing to see how you didn't mention how some of "we guys" were called "capitalists" as an insult.
None is an insult, but yet you only mentioned my comment, as If I had started anything. The original poster insulted people as if Capitalism is "bad".
We only read what we want to... as usual.

It's amusing to see you all guys call each other "communist" as an insult. I thought that that kind of stupidity had died soon after the cold war. Free Software has nothing to do with politics, I'm fed up of reading this kind of posts everywhere. Don't like F/OSS, don't use it, the same way I don't use MSFT products without insulting anyone.
