*"Novell* offers enterprise infrastructure software and services that help
customers leverage proprietary and *open* source solutions. These solutions
lower cost *..." www.novell.com

*It is evident that the services from Novell Corp do not respect nor
appreciate "freedom", as conceived and promoted by Free Software Foundation.


Whose agenda are being protected, when Free Software activists' are refused
to register their disagreement through non-violent means of protest ?

What is wrong in voicing objections to concerns about hijacking the services
of Free Software communities where the ends and means do not justify any of
the principles of Free Software ?
