Novell Offers Linux Users Legal Indemnity
Anonymous Coward writes "Novell today said it intends to indemnify its enterprise Linux users against possible legal action by The SCO Group and/or others. According to eWeek Novell's new Linux Indemnification Program is designed to provide its SUSE Enterprise Linux customers with protection against intellectual-property challenges to Linux and to help reduce the barriers to Linux adoption in the enterprise.
Under the terms of the program, Novell will offer indemnification for copyright infringement claims made by third parties against registered Novell customers who obtain SUSE Enterprise Linux 8 after January 13, 2004, upgrade protection and a qualifying technical support contract from Novell or a Novell channel partner."
Oh give me a break. So if you're not the first group to break a story you are rehashing it? Aren't all news outlets guilty of that? If a news site only put out news that no one else had covered already, you'd have to visit every single news site to get the most up to date coverage. No, Slashdot doesn't report a lot of things before other people do; that's not its purpose. Its purpose is to be a news site that reports on the most relevant stuff for nerds, and offer those same nerds a place to voice their concerns among one another, or just general rant and rave. It does this good, do stop your bitching. No one's making you come here you know?
Slackware, what else when it must be secure, stable, and easy?
