“There is already a lot of discussion about the section 11
brackets, and how they deal directly with the Microsoft-Novell
partnership. Is this the big ticket item to take away from the
draft?“Jeff Seul: The big thing does seem to be the
Novell-Microsoft deal [in section 11]. And that’s not just media
noise, because the FSF also issued a long explanatory document with
it that said as much. Even [FSF general counsel] Eben Moglen has
said as much in the past to the press. But I honestly don’t know
what those brackets are really supposed to mean. Obviously, this
ever-changing draft was previously vetted by many people before
[its release Wednesday]. One can only speculate, but likely what
this means is ‘this is something we are considering.’ Sounds like
the question the FSF is putting to the community is ‘Do you want us
to grandfather this deal or not…?'”
