"Patent agreement"

I would like to point out that the so-called patent agreement does not say that Micro$oft and Novell will not sue EACH OTHER (a violation of the GPL), it states that neither company will sue the other's customers. There is a big difference.
I also notice that no one points out that for M$ to have signed that part of the agreement, does that mean that they are admitting that there are Linux/GNU/OpenSource patent violations in Windows?
