OT: The rubber sword of Damocles

Just finished watching the Novell/MS press conference and it looks
like MS is trying to spread the software patent bogeyman again (now
that their ploy with SCO isn't quite panning out as they imagined) but
it seems to me due to the complex entanglement of upstream
contributers, they would have a hard time pursuing any IP rights
against anyone in the Open Source community now ... including Red Hat.

Here's to hoping that Novell is acting in the greater good on the Open
Source community rather than self interests.
