Is the take over of Novell  going to affect the document foundation?
And my question would  be; do any of the 882 patents sold to the Microsoft 
consortium affect  the go-ooo code and therefore expose TDF to patent 
actions?
How come you  know what the IP assets are sold to MS consortium? This
wasn't mentioned  anywhere and nobody really knows what these will be...


FYI - the 882 patent (whatever it is) has been mentioned in a number of 
different places.
Including Groklaw - http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20101122130625952.
But it's still speculation as to what else is in that part of the sale.
