Linux vendor Novell said that licensing changes under consideration by the body that governs open-source software could undermine a controversial but commercially significant distribution deal that the company struck with Microsoft last year. In a regulatory filing, Novell said that proposed revisions to the General Public License could -- in their current draft form -- force the company "to modify our relationship with Microsoft" or "explore alternatives" to the deal.
