Visiblement tu n'a même pas pris la peine de lire les articles relatifs à ce départ.
Si tu l'avais fait tu aurais pu comprendre que Jeremy Allison est parfaitement conscient que l'accord MS/Novell ne viole pas la GPL. Il l'écrit noir sur blanc donc c'est étonnant que tu ne le voit pas.
Je te colle son argumentaire :
For people who will point out to me we don't "technically" violate the GPLv2 here's an argument I recently made on the mailing lists.
"Do you think that if we'd have found what we legally considered a clever way around the Microsoft EULA so we didn't have to pay for Microsoft licenses and had decided to ship, oh let's say, "Exchange Server" under this "legal hack" that Microsoft would be silent about it - or we should act aggr[i]eved when they change the EULA to stop us doing this?"
The Microsoft patent agreement has put us outside the community, and there is no positive aspect to that fact, and no way to make it so. Until the patent provision is revoked, we are pariahs.
C'est quand même clair non ? Il reconnait que l'accord ne viole pas la lettre de la GPL mais il pense que cela trahit l'esprit de la GPL. Pour lui c'est une raison suffisante pour quitter cette firme.
Il y a des commentaires très pertinent sur LWN : http://lwn.net/Articles/215187/
Lis donc celui-ci sur la différence entre le respect de la lettre ou de l'esprit d'un contrat ou d'une licence :
The problem with ethical position is that there are none. Novell and Microsoft designed the deal as if it was deal related to businesses. And "there are no friends in business". If you are not violating you agreements - you are hero. No matter hos sneaky or sleazy the actual deal is: if you can not be thrown in jail for signing it - it's Ok.
But communities (including open source and free software communities) are all about friends! It does not matter if you can be thrown to jail or not - if it's close to "dark side" we'll stop helping you.
