So, talking about the MS/Novell deal has been declared
stupid by dobey
even though according to other hackers 80 percent of hackers
think that there is nothing wrong with it. jclinton
has issued a statement condemning this action. Perhaps he
said it best

“Since you guys are all buddy, buddy
and everything, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard for you to
take a few minutes of his time to explain the spirit of Free
Software to Steve.”

Personally I think that if
people weren’t outraged about it, we’d have already lost to
MS.

Update: Iain
has
said that if more people think like this he will do what he
is told and stop blogging completely.
