No they did not. They said MS won't sue Novell's customers that use SLE. But they said they would still sue Novell. As they did NOT license the patents to Novell. Meaning Novell can't contribute code that include patents from Microsoft. Is this so hard to understand?
The worst part of this is that Bioware is not allowed to support NWN even if they want to. Atari have said that Bioware can't suppport it anymore. Probably becaouse Atari wants people to leave the NWN community for the NWN2 community. But I can't as I'm an all Linux user I can't join the NWN2 comunity as it won't run in Linux. So sadly I have to say farwell to the great community around NWN.
By Swedish this is perfectly legal. Some years ago a guy was sued for posting links to mp3's on his web page. And the Swedish court desided that it was nothing wrong with that. He didn't ditribute the mp3's only showing were they where. And the same thing is pirate bay doing now.
Hope my english is better the Swede in the muppets show.
