I see no reason not to, although I haven't myself.

I think I would probably have gone further than Bruce; the contribution
by Novell to the free software community is a litany of both good and
bad, and this isn't the first time that they've sold us out to Microsoft
for a fee (e.g., EU antitrust). 

It's a shame, because they have some very smart hackers working on
important projects.

Cheers,

Alex.
