Microsoft called together a press conference the other day and announced a collaboration agreement with Novell for its brand of Linux. (This follows an announcement by Oracle to start supporting Red Hat's version of Linux).As part of the agreement, Microsoft will not assert patent-infringement claims against individual, noncommercial, open-source developers. The moratorium applies only to Linux SuSe developers, not other flavors of Linux or other open-source software.
This represents a major shift for Microsoft, who until now seemed determined to defeat Linux. I guess that hell is now officially frozen. Obviously, both Microsoft and Novell were forced into this by its customers. Linux is just too entrenched in the enterprise for Microsoft to ignore it or fight it. But it is picking its partners.
