Microsoft is paying money to Novell as part of this deal

I know, but only for licenses of Linux, which you disagreed with and insisted it was a patent royalty, which was obviously just another one of your lies since you can't back up your claim and are getting all weaselly again.

I know about the Linux licenses, but I am wondering whether their payment is part patent royalty. I may be wrong, but I'll have to wait until we can actually see the whole terms of the deal. However, you are distracting from the point -- you always claim Linux infringes, but here Novell is promising not to sue over infringements in Windows.

All large software infringes on some patent. Even "Hello World" probably infringes.
