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."

Plus, even if Novell dies, the company won't actually "die" but the shareholders will break it up into smaller companies, and we may get back an independent SUSE once again.
