Submission + - Novell Updates Indemnification Program
An anonymous reader writes: After a whirlwind couple of days that included Steve Ballmer's latest FUD eruption, and perhaps not coincidentally the first patent infringement lawsuit filed against Linux, Novell has announced that they have updated their technology assurance (indemnification) program. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is that Microsoft is apparently extending their patent covenant to GPLv3, once there is a v3 product included in SUSE Linux Enterprise.
