Microsoft and Red Hat continue partnership dance
Intellectual property may be off the table, for now, but it sure seems like Red Hat and Microsoft are still dancing around coming to some kind of partnership relationship.
In a recent eWEEK news story by Peter Galli, Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft's vice president of intellectual property and licensing, said, "Red Hat and Microsoft have previously had conversations about interoperability, but none of our recent conversations have included discussions about intellectual property cooperation."
Ah! Notice the start of the last phrase, "none of our recent conversations." So, they are still talking.
In reply, Paul Cormier, Red Hat's executive vice president of engineering, told eWEEK that the company is still willing to work with the Redmond software maker on the interoperability front, but that it wants to limit those talks to pure interoperability between Windows and Red Hat Linux.
If you look at it one way, the gap between the leading Linux company and Microsoft is as wide as ever.
