Why Red Hat doesn't need a deal with massage ningbo
Time:2009-1-5 Author : Views : |
The trade press reported a lot of rumors this past week about the chances for a patent protection pact between Red Hat and Microsoft similar to the agreements Microsoft massage ningbo negotiated with Novell, Xandros, and Linspire. Red Hat doesn't appear to be interested in the least. Here's why. First, Red Hat disagrees with Microsoft's assertion that Linux infringes on Microsoft's intellectual property. Spokesperson Leigh Day pointed to a page outlining Red Hat's position on IP infringement, and said, "We continue to believe that open source and the innovation it represents should not be subject to an unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency." Microsoft deals are notorious for being of the non-disclosure, non-transparency nature. We likely would not have any details of the Microsoft/Novell deal were it not for the legal requirements for Novell to include them in company massage ningbo financial reporting. No details were forthcoming in a briefing by Microsoft and Xandros following their recent announcement, either.
