It may have been mentioned before but there were remarks by Stallman  
(I think) about the fact that GPLed products could not be distributed  
with conditions other than those defined by the GPL. Which means in  
the Novell/MS case that if Novell decides to provide "extra  
protection" for GPL products it may loose the right to simply  
distribute Linux etc... Or did I get something wrong ?
