Novell position on GPL3 draft
March 28th, 2007 by Bruce Lowry
The Free Software Foundation has published today a third draft of the
GPL3 license. The FSF had indicated leading up to this draft that it
would be addressing some concerns it had with the Novell-Microsoft
agreements in the draft. Heres Novells position on the new draft:
* We will continue to distribute Linux. Nothing in this new draft
of GPL3 inhibits Novells ability to include GPL3 technologies
in SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE, and other Novell open source
offerings, now and in the future. This is good news for our
customers.
* This is a draft for public comment. Novell is not going to offer
a public interpretation on specific provisions of the draft at
this time.
* We are firmly committed to continuing the partnership with
Microsoft and, as we always have, fully complying with the terms
of the licenses for the software that we ship, including software
licensed under GPL3. If the final version of the GPL3 does
potentially impact the agreement we have with Microsoft, well
address that with Microsoft.
* Novell has been and continues to be a strong supporter of free
software and open source. We are significant contributors to a
range of free software and open source projects, including
kernel.org, openOffice.org, Mono, GNU projects, and more.
