Jeremy Allison developer of samba has resigned in protest over the Microvell deal.
Very interesting thought that can't be argued against.
"Do you think that if we'd have found what we legally considered a clever way around the Microsoft EULA so we didn't have to pay for Microsoft licenses and had decided to ship, oh let's say, "Exchange Server" under this "legal hack" that Microsoft would be silent about it - or we should act aggr[i]eved when they change the EULA to stop us doing this?" -JA There an interesting discussion going on at groklaw with the full letter he wrote to Novell http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20061221081000710
And he is joining google.
