Ximian Acquired By Novell

*noone*, not ximian, not novel, NOONE can revoke the GPL'd code.

Clearly, *you* don't know the first thing about the GPL nor did you read my message. Novell owns the copyright on all code in Evolution (and Mono, and Red Carpet). If they decide that, in future, Evolution etc will be proprietry then there's nothing to be said about it. You will still have the GPLed version, but that's all. All Novell/Ximian work would be proprietry, and all the whining from GPL advocates wouldn't change it because that is the way the GPL works.
