Two years ago we thought we could have ducked under "software patents are not recognized in India". With the Indian patent office granting innumerable software patents, and attempting to provide a legal backdoor, that defence is no longer available unless you have fat money or lawyer friends to defend you in court.
And by the way Novell was one of the companies supporting M$ farcical document standards, in contradiction of all logic - yet another indication of their double standards.
Once you are aware of the politics of software and how it can screw you, to each his own poison pill.
