Summary: Analysis of the great influence Novell has gained inside the GNOME Foundation
Evolution 2.30 has just been released and there is accompanying software, some of it not GPL-licensed (a trend at Novell). Evolution is a Novell/Ximian product and It is probably no coincidence that GNOME has just been released under the same version number. The release was announced by a Novell employee (Vincent Untz, GNOME Foundation Director) and attribution was somewhere given to Paul Culter, who has just joined Novell, so they probably exceed the allowed influence in GNOME. His arrival is just 3 days old. According to someone called “Bertrand”, “The Paul Culter who was appointed to the GNOME foundation board is not working for Novell [he is now], and never did [he does now]. As per the foundation charter, the board cannot have more than 2 people with the same affiliation, and there are already 2 members of the board affiliated with Novell.” Is Novell in compliance with the GNOME Foundation’s charter after Culter’s arrival? The Mono Cult already has a lot of power in GNOME (including influence from Microsoft MVP de Icaza, who also works at Novell). █
