Actually, the Reuters piece is pretty out of whack -- the FSF put a
provision in the GPLv3 third draft that would prevent deals like
Novell/MS, but would grandfather in any deals prior to the date of the
draft.

So... I don't see the FSF really doing any damage here. Novell, on the
other hand, would be limited to this deal if they want to use FSF or
GPL3'ed code going forward.

Best,
