#6 Para mí, el título de esta noticia es erróneo. Otros opinan que la respuesta de Microsoft, si bien han sido más comedidos, no han refutado las declaraciones de Ballmer:
"We at Microsoft respect Novell's point of view on the patent issue, even while we respectfully take a different view. Novell is absolutely right in stating that it did not admit or acknowledge any patent problems as part of entering into the patent collaboration agreement. At Microsoft we undertook our own analysis of our patent portfolio and concluded that it was necessary and important to create a patent covenant for customers of these products. We are gratified that such a solution is now in place." (www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8308472991.html)
