Story: Linspire Linux deal 'worse than Novell'

Foul!

Correct me if I'm wrong but the suggested 'conditions' are not permissable under GPL, therefore Linspire cannot proceed with their distribution.

Or have M$ found a devious way to seriously undermine and destroy GPL, unltimately throught the courts, and/or subsume GPL software as they have done so much of in the past with other software.

Clearly M$ ARE on the offensive with open source in their sights.

Now is the time to start taking this danger VERY seriously. This is big and very nasty business in action. The objective seems absolutely clear. Destroy GPL and 'steal' all the technology. An activity with plenty of precedence.
