    Hmm.
    The assumed formula for copyright:

    How it REALLY works:

  13. Re:Overstaffed R&D? on Novell Under Pressure From Investors · · Score: 1

    I do not agree. Overstaffed R&D at the expense of sales is not a good thing. Especially for a company which can (and really should!) thrive and use the R&D from linux contributors, a good way may be even to reward the actual projects teams instead of having engineers hired, by donating to projects directly, for example using sourceforge system of donations.
      They need good marketing and sales, what worth R&D with nobody using their (superior) technology because of ignorance and lack of info.
