[Sheflug] OpenOffice.org becomes PatentOffice.org

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

For those of us who haven't read it so far.....

" I think Novell needs to change its slogan now. They describe 
themselves in the press release like this:

    "Novell, Inc. delivers Software for the Open Enterpriseâ" 

They've even trademarked the phrase, so we may assume that back in the 
day, that was their goal. Back to the drawing board. May I suggest 
this as more appropriate now?

    "Novell, Inc. delivers A-Hint-Of-Not-Really-Open-Software for the 
Not-Much-Interested-in-Leaving-Microsoft Enterprise"

In my eyes, Novell is forking itself out of the FOSS community. Here's 
the press release, to memorialise this day in FOSS history, and so 
you can reach your own conclusions. "
