Comment Just keep using KDE 3.5.x until you want to switch (Score 4, Insightful) 288

From what I've been reading KDE 4.1 still will be a little on the rough side and there are issues with the closed source nvidia driver (get other hardware!).

There's no obligation to use KDE 4.1, since KDE 3.5 will still be there and supported as well. I don't understand the whining from users feeling let down or dissapointed, you always have a choice.

I try using KDE 4.x.x every now and then, I suggest you try the same without a feeling of being forced to use it, just curiosity!

In the long run, I believe KDE 4 will be a very solid platform for desktops for a very long time (until the next big change of course ;-)

Cheers (and no worries!)

Eben Moglen To Scrutinize Novell-Microsoft Deal 102

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday November 09, 2006 @08:44PM from the hard-looks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Novell is providing Eben Moglen's Software Freedom Law Center with confidential access to the legal terms of the Novell-Microsoft partnership, allowing to organization to verify if the deal is compatible with the GPL2 and GPL3 licenses. Moglen in the past has alleged that the patent license between the two companies could be in violation with section 7 of the GPL. Novell on Tuesday published a document on its website, explaining that they circumvented the GPL provisions by providing a patent license to the end user rather than between the two companies."
