Microsoft no se puede declarar exento de requerimientos de GPLv3

Como lo dice la FSF www.fsf.org Microsoft no se puede declarar exento de los requerimientos de la GPLv3

Microsoft cannot declare itself exempt from the requirements of GPLv3

https://www.fsf.org/news/microsoft_response

La declaración publica de Microsoft fue esta:

Microsoft is not a party to the GPLv3 license and none of its actions are to be misinterpreted as accepting status as a contracting party of GPLv3 or assuming any legal obligations under such license.

Pero al hacer el negocio de “interoperatividad” con Novell empresa patrocinadora de openSUSE una de las distribuciones de GNU/Linux mas usada, están formando parte de la GPLv3.

We’re excited to work with Novell, whose strengths include its heritage as a mixed-source company. Resolving our patent issues enables a combined focus on virtualization and Web services management to create new opportunities for our companies and our customers.
