FYI - this is what i posted on Novells site (actually I think it went to surveymonkey.com which is even better):

I think Novell has been duped into a Microsoft strategy of 1) creating FUD about possible patent claims (customers are almost never sued in patent claims), 2) playing into a Microsoft "save our Office document format monopoly" strategy, 3) establishing a precedent of paying a Microsoft tax for using the work of free people - freely given to the community.

I think you're going to look silly when your attempts to insert Microsoft viral patented IP into OOo come up against sect. 11 of the LGPL.

B.T.W. In France after the war they shaved the heads of collaborators.
