Hello Mr. Noronha, I agree with the last part of your message. It's a mixed blessing. It'll wipe out the concept that Free Software is not needed by the enterprise. But the fear is that will it become proprietory. For this we need sometime to evaluate. We have to consider the RedHat's issue in this context Manilal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederick Noronha (FN)" fred@bytesforall.org Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2003 10:22:15 +0530 (IST) To: Richard Stallman rms@gnu.org Subject: [Fsf-friends] Novel, Suse, Ximian...
I wonder what RMS (and others on this list) would make of the recent Novel acquisition of Suse, Ximian and other similar initiatives. Is it good for the community? Is it bad? Or is it a mixed blessing, which we will need some time to evaluate?
