●● Blast from the Past: Jack Messman Speaks Open Source (Video)

Posted in Interview, Novell, Videos at 5:48 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Jack Messman, the former CEO of Novell, speaks about Linux and Open Source in the following old video. It is worth mentioning that negotiations with Microsoft only began after Messman stepped down (rather passively).

At the time, Novell argued that Jack Messman’s departure would give priority to Linux. This exemplifies the meaning of the phrase “Better the Devil You Know (Than the One You Don’t Know)“.
