Robert Love Resigns from Novell

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the moving-on dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Robert Love who was the Chief Architect of Novell's Linux Desktop has resigned today. Robert is a prominent Linux kernel hacker, author and journalist in the Linux community. His blog doesn't specify why he resigned, but after colleague and friend Jeremy Allison's departure from Novell in protest of the Microsoft-Novell deal, this might be the latest fallout from it."

    The MSFT/NOVL agreement was not the motivation behind my departure.

    I appreciate the postings by those who recognize that the speculation behind my departure is ill-founded and inappropriate.

    What part of the GPL says I have to give money to anyone else? I don't even have to give the source to anyone who isn't my customer.

    Point were it forbids this in the exiting GPL or actually read the licensing before spreading fud. The GPLv3 doesn't even stop this from happening. You seem to be sold on the merits of licensing, have you even read the GPL license?
