Well, I guess dumping the SuSE box two days ago was an interesting timing.
As everyone else I'm not sure yet will come out of this, but Bruce added the
words we all knew was probably lurking there.
It certainly is intersting timing, the SCO case is going down fast now, and
this certainly provides MS with some interesting paths.
I'm very inclined to read Bruces possibilities as likely reasons, they make
too much sense!
Corporate America does not understand or knows the difference between any
distro, all they see is support contracts. If it has a support contract it
must be a real product, otherwise not.
Novell certainly has made the wrong choices in the past, like WordPerfect and
company. their need to secure their future has been on the line for a long
time now.
Moglen, of FSF, like Perens, also seem to think Novell might have violated the
GPL. Details below.

Until this pans out one way or the other I have now stopped recomending SuSE
to my corp clients and friends.
