No kidding. As though that were a big secret or something. It's been in black and white for all to see for a long time, on the Novell website, that they support the idea of software patents. Name one for-profit company that doesn't believe in patents. Novell, and any other company that creates, will never be for the total anarchy you espouse. What Novell is against is the proposed expansion of patent law in the EU that would create the kind of mess the US patent system has created with bogus patent claims (like half of M$'s probably are.) It's not spin to state facts - unless the one claiming "spin" finds that the facts refute their opinion.
