I recall the assertive stance of OpenBSD Theo de Raadt that Linux can and will show cracks not only in it's technical but also in it's legal, consequently moral, position as far as licensing is concerned. It would be misleading to say that Linux is about to die, it's just that many development time was spent playing catch-up to Microsoft and with it, many subscribed to the idea that Microsoft way of doing things is/are better, admittedly or not. Should Novell be proud of the deal they made? I don't think so. They opened the floodgate of further FUD into Linux development, if Linux really is a reliable platform, why prioritize or give weight to having to interoperate with an unreliable, crash- and virus-prone one?
