Novell Underscores Support for Free Software Development
Novell moved Wednesday to underscore its support for free software development after volunteer technical support collapsed for rival Red Hat's free Linux version.
Novell spokesman Kevan Barney said the downfall of Red Hat's Fedora Legacy Project only strengthens Novell's commitment to its own partnership with open-source, or free, software developers worldwide.
"What has happened with Fedora does not affect what we are doing with our Open Systems Project," he said. "We have over 30,000 registered members. The project is doing quite well."
Novell offers its own Suse Linux product line, but it differs from a companion, free-to-download Open Suse version only in the level of technical support and the stability required for each generation of retail editions.
