Novell Dumps the Hula Project

Posted by kdawson on from the wonder-why? dept.

asv108 writes, "On the Hula general mailing list today, it was announced that Novell is no longer providing full-time developers to Hula. While the project will continue, it appears that Novell is not committed to developing a viable open-source alternative to MS Exchange. The Hula project was announced in February 2005 with much fanfare."

    But this case is different, becuase Novell and Microsoft have created a legal fiction of covenants rather than licenses in order to do what my license prohibits.

    As another poster said ... if they really did 'do what [your] license prohibits', that is, break your license, then take them to court. put up or shut up already. And if you can't take legal recourse - that is, they really didn't break your license - suck it up and be a man and stop bitching about it already.

    Why don't you prohibit Novell from using your newer software? Oh, thats right, you haven't written any new software in years.
