Why Is Dell Buying SLES certificates from Microsoft, Not Novell?
,----[ Quote ]
| So, is it possible Microsoft just wants to get out of the SLES
| certificates business quick, most specifically before GPLv3 is final?

GPLv3 & Linux: Does Dell Know Something?
,----[ Quote ]
| So far, the impulse of the FOSS movement has been to use GPLv3 to
| torpedo the MSFT-NOVL deal and discourage interoperability, not
| exactly a customer-friendly strategy. One of the interesting
| implications of the Dell announcement is that Dell must be
| writing off the possiblity that GPLv3 will be adopted for
| Linux. Or it is willing to support a fork into v2 and v3 versions.
