Jeremy Allison resigns from Novell in protest

Groklaw is reporting that Jeremy Allison (Mr. Samba) has resigned from Novell in protest over the Microsoft-Novell patent deal.
"Whilst
the Microsoft patent agreement is in place there is *nothing* we can do
to fix community relations. And I really mean nothing," Allison wrote.
"Until the patent provision is revoked, we are pariahs....Unfortunately
the time I am willing to wait for this agreement to be changed ...has
passed, and so I must say goodbye.
You can read the full text of his resignation on Groklaw.
"artText">Take this with a grain of salt, however. Jeremy
can be a bit of a firebrand. That he's upset, I understand. Why, I also
understand. But I think he might have done more good for the company by
staying and serving as an internal watchdog than he will outside the
company. Novell didn't do this deal out of any malicious intent toward
the community or anyone else. It was not a wise move, in my opinion,
but I don't know that Jeremy's move helps anything.
