Microsoft, Novell Reach Accord on Linux
“Microsoft Corp. reached a rapprochement with a major seller of the Linux operating system, a deal that makes a kind of peace between two opposing camps in the software industry. The deal with Novell Inc. is designed to make it easier for customers to use both Linux and Microsoft’s Windows software. […]The deal effectively makes Microsoft a reseller of Suse Linux, Novell’s version of the operating system, and kicks off a broad technology collaboration between the two companies. At the heart of the deal is a ‘patent covenant’ under which Microsoft agreed not to file patent-infringement charges against users of Suse Linux, and Novell agreed not to sue users of Windows.”
Ohjelmistojätti Microsoft ryhtyy tukemaan Windowsin ja Linuxin rinnakkaiskäyttöä. Yhtiö on allekirjoittanut sopimuksen Linuxia jakelevan Novellin kanssa. […] Yhtiöt ryhtyvät myös kehittämään yhdessä käyttöjärjestelmien rinnakkaiskäyttöä helpottavia ohjelmistoratkaisuja. Lisäksi Microsoft ei perää patenttioikeuksiaan sellaisten ohjelmistoratkaisujen osalta, joista tullaan mahdollisesti liittämään Suse Linuxiin.
