 In 2006, Microsoft's pledge not to sue Novell Linux customers, openSUSE contributors, and free/open source software developers over patents and the associated collaboration agreement with Novell was met with disdain from the Software Freedom Law Center while commentators from the Free Software Foundation stated that the agreement would not comply with GPLv3.Meanwhile, Microsoft has reached similar agreements with Dell and Samsung, due to alleged patent infringements of the GNU/Linux operating system.Microsoft has also derived revenue from Android by making such agreements-not-to-sue with Android vendors.
