LOL! You believe Slashdot over Microsoft? That’s one for the archives!
I don't see it as an either/or situation, they both seem to be saying the same thing. Microsoft's patent protection is to Novell's customers, not to opensuse.org. Claims opensuse.org is completely protected from MS patent suits is clearly false. That's why I shouldn't even waste my time with your red herrings. You bring up all these peripheral claims constantly in an attempt to get away from ever discussing "the father of free software" just to be proven wrong on the peripheral claims as well.
You know, you always claim "lie," but you can never back that up. Meanwhile, we have a very long list of proven, factual lies from you.
Bottom line: A Microsoft attack against OpenOffice is an attack against Sun. Microsoft therefore risks retaliation. I have a quote from the CEO of Sun to back up my assertion. What do you have?
LMAO no you don't. You have a bunch of ridiclulous BS like this from other times you were defending leftists and free software for communist governments. Fact is, the only absolutely proven liar is you, since you have outright admitted to making up lies, on purpose, to defend criminal Russian hackers. Want me to link it? Your quote is "Yes, I lied." That's as clear as it can possibly get. Unless you want to claim you were lying then too LOL.

Not with patents since they have a cross license patent agreement that Open Office doesn't have. Since you've finally apparently come to grips with the facts Open Office doesn't belong to Sun, and Sun has a patent agreement not to sue Microsoft, what other sort of "retaliation" are you claiming will happen in your dwindling fantasy land?
Which you did not link of course, and now I see why. Not only was the quote from 2004, you left off the quotation marks and added your own commentary inluding the word Microsoft to make it look like they were recent and actually came from the CEO when it was actually just you posing as him! LMAO! Typical BS from you, there's no level to which you won't stoop to support leftist freaks like Stallman.
The post was made after the 2004 Sun/Microsoft patent agreement when people thought Sun had left OpenOffice out to dry since it isn't included in the agreement.
Get your timelines straight before you criticize, or you just end up looking dumb.

Uh, no. Quit your unfounded accusations.
First, notice that I was careful to be honest in that posting, even adding [my emphasis] to the bold text.
Second, yet another lesson for the clueless: There's this little tag in HTML called "blockquote." See the word "quote" in there? I thought so. It's meant so that those who know HTML can block-off a quote. It indents everything between the tags so that those who are used to reading HTML-formatted text know it's a quote.
Now notice that my mention of Microsoft is outside of the blockquote! View the source of that post if you know how and verify it. No rational person could have though I did what you said, but then nobody here thinks you are rational.
Retract your unfounded, libelous personal attack and apologize -- honestly, not politician style. And then don't do it again.
Yes, I do. One time I racked up at least five lies in the same thread. That includes factual lies and misrepresenting my posts, including by taking them out of context, just as you recently did in this thread. You were even called on your actions by others at the time.
Fact is, the only absolutely proven liar is you
Still mad at being exposed for a fraud? Poor baby, want a hankie? *sniff* *sniff*
I have an idea. Get an education and maybe you'll be able to keep up in these threads. Hey GE, what's a microkernel?
Not with patents since they have a cross license patent agreement that Open Office doesn't have.
Yet the Sun CEO promised to defend it, in the context of the Sun/Microsoft patent agreement.
ROFL! I've actually enjoyed exposing you as a leftist liberal fraud yet again. As for your claims your indexed your quote it doesn't appear that way on my Palm browser. Start using normal quotation marks instead of some weird probably foreign method and maybe you won't get stomped on so hard next time. Maybe.
It's not my fault you use systems that don't display correctly. Start reading with a proper HTML renderer. Until then, don't accuse me out of your ignorance.
Now retract and apologize. The HTML shows I used blockquote, a standard method for quoting another's text.
Blockquote has been in HTML since at least 2.0, and its purpose is described as (my emphasis):
5.5.4. Block Quote: BLOCKQUOTEI don't see any call for redundant quote marks. You are wrong, as usual. You personally attacked me based on your ignorance, as usual.The <BLOCKQUOTE> element contains text quoted from another source.A typical rendering might be a slight extra left and right indent, and/or italic font. The <BLOCKQUOTE> typically provides space above and below the quote.
Single-font rendition may reflect the quotation style of Internet mail by putting a vertical line of graphic characters, such as the greater than symbol (>), in the left margin.
Example of use:
I think the play ends
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
but I am not sure.
Start using normal quotation marks instead of some weird probably foreign method
True, the World Wide Web is a foreign invention. Oh, wait, foreigners can't invent anything according to you.
Your HTML and WWW history lessons are now over. Start educating yourself instead of relying on me. I don't get paid enough to teach students this dense.
Forget it. Include a link next time you want to quote something so we can verify what you claim, which you clearly failed to do. You are an admitted liar, therefore nothing you say in your constant defense of leftists should be trusted. Nor will it be.
I didn't expect the honest thing from you. You never let me down.

I verified when challenged. I even verified what any novice HTML user knows, which is what blockquote is for. You claimed I was dishonest with no evidence to back you up because you can't read extremely basic HTML formatting. Worse, you fail to retract your personal attack when proven wrong.
This adds another absolutely proven instance to your record of unsubstantiated personal attacks using lies and distortion, fueled by your paranoia and ignorance.
You are an admitted liar
I told the truth myself, contrary to the lie you told that you caught me. Meanwhile, you refuse to retract a lie in this very thread.
Get real, the “quote” you provided without a link was almost three years old. Sun’s CEO had fresh comments on his blog yesterday, where he referred to Microsoft as a quote “business partner” and recommended they not litigate, but made no responsive threats whatsover. Did you link that? No, you pulled some quote from 3 years ago out of your rear and left it without a link to infer they were recent. But when you’re stuck defending whacko leftists like Stallman, there’s not much else you can do LOL.
Are you blind? I already told you the quote was from after the Sun/Microsoft deal, and referring to the possibility of Microsoft suing over OpenOffice. Wow, that happens to be the current subject. People predicted this possibility long ago, and Swartz was being naive in dismissing them.
But you're still sitting with you calling me deceptive in that post, something disproved. You remain a proven liar.
