However, option vesting will accelerate upon a change in control of the Company and upon the declaration by the Board of the payment of a dividend to the common stockholders of the Company. Anyway, there was a filing today, and it's important. The license is perpetual, and no fees will be charged, Microsoft promised. He didn't even wait until the ink was dry. They mention the patent aspect of the deal, by the way, prominently. Why did they choose GPL? In this case, it prefers to reserve its vote until after the air clears and everyone knows what issues are to be decided at trial. You can't add any restrictions to the GPL license. We strongly challenge those statements here. GlassFish is dual licensed, CDDL or GPL, as you please. That is a no no, so she ruled that the evidence that wasn't on the table with sufficient specificity, as ordered, by the discovery cutoff deadline could not be used by SCO. They said they'd turn everything relevant over to Novell in plenty of time, and they did so. SCO, as you'll recall, did some FUDding in the media about alleged spoliation, which some SCO-supporting media types lapped up to the very last drop and made sound like a big deal. Of course, I would expect MSN would say that, and Microsoft has no trouble finding people in the media willing to express what I think Microsoft would like said. So who can and who can't? They are an IP creator, not just a redistributor, so there is no royalty required to be paid to anybody. Monopolies don't get to do just whatever enters their pretty little head, you know. The folks they need to speak to are the Software Freedom Law Center. Usually a GPL gotcha? Unfortunately, Microsoft has misunderstood how the GPL works, and where it stands on the issue of patents, if one gives Microsoft every benefit of every doubt. That is why they care, and that is the difference. Anyway, we certainly will never run out of reading material. I'm having a hard time buying that argument. Novell has a significant patent portfolio, and in reflection of this fact, the agreement we signed shows the overwhelming balance of payments being from Microsoft to Novell. StarOffice was protected, which kind of put a bit of shade over OpenOffice. Schwartz says it's a curious thing if IBM is opposing the GPL. I believe that is obvious now. He also indicated he thought the Novell case should probably go first. No evidence was destroyed. So, the court has nothing to compel. Of course, I would expect MSN would say that, and Microsoft has no trouble finding people in the media willing to express what I think Microsoft would like said.
