Novell Answers Questions from the Community

Since the announcement of the Novell-Microsoft agreement on November 2, we have been flooded with questions from the open source community about what this deal means to the Linux, the open source community, and even what this deal means for Novell. We will use this page to answer as many of those questions as possible.

While these answers make sense for the mostpart, they do nothing to instill faith that this is going to work out. Could Novell have opened a door that leads to their demise? Probably not, but with the hardcore reaction from the community, it’s not going to be a smooth ride. On a side note, Microsoft has just passed Novell a nice, big sum of cash.
