		<description>Posts in the discussion thread &quot;Puppet theatre&quot; - BoycottNovell explains, with clear graphics and labels, why many very important Linux distributors are supporting OOXML.  It&#039;s very important to understand why big firms like TurboLinux, Corel, Xandros, Linspire, and Novell, believe OOXML is better than hot sliced bread.  Read on...</description>

						 <p>That is the loophole with <a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2167193,00.asp">Mark Shuttleworth's analysis</a>. I think it is quite balanced but it neglects the influence of these companies on lobbying activities. Imagine we were back in 2005. Would Novell speak up that they &quot;urgently need software patents&quot; because of the deal?</p>

						 <p>BoycottNovell is <a href="http://boycottnovell.com/2007/08/06/microsoft-ooxml-hand/">publishing the following picture</a>:</p> <img src="http://boycottnovell.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/ooxml-puppets.jpg" alt="ooxml-puppets.jpg" class="image" /> <p>I think they are plenty of other puppets missing on the picture, especially for countries like Italy and Denmark. Here is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_regime">Wikipedia definition of a puppet regime</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>A puppet state is a country that is nominally independent, but in reality, under the control of another power.</p> <p>The term has two distinct but related meanings. First, it refers to a state whose government depends on a foreign power for its existence and which closely follows the will of that foreign power in key policy issues; sometimes economic, sometimes strategic.</p> </blockquote>
