BoycottNovell: Linux Defenders: Obeying — Not Challenging — a Broken System http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-112658/boycottnovell:linux-defenders:obeying-not-challenging-a-brok Posts in the discussion thread "BoycottNovell: Linux Defenders: Obeying — Not Challenging — a Broken System" - Those who followed recent posts about this subject [1, 2, 3] already know that we are not huge fans of the “Linux Defenders” initiative; not because it’s ineffective but because it’s the wrong way to approach the problem. It is a way that pleases big companies (and funding sources) like IBM, i.e. it keeps the things IBM likes and tackles those which it does not like. IBM is, sadly enough, not opposed to software patents. It just wants to weed out the ‘nuisance’ that’s a by-product.
