*It is evident that the services from Novell Corp do not respect nor appreciate "freedom", as conceived and promoted by Free Software Foundation.
Whose agenda are being protected, when Free Software activists' are refused to register their disagreement through non-violent means of protest ?
What is wrong in voicing objections to concerns about hijacking the services of Free Software communities where the ends and means do not justify any of the principles of Free Software ?
