Novell didn't say it, but Ballmer did. He claimed MS can sue

Microsoft can sue anybody even if there no real infrengement... no
individual can afford sue from such a big company
so the assert he wont is already a good point

The assertion is hardly a concern here. Neither are the
'royalties'. It's FUD. It's like the SCO sockpuppet, which
could go as far as delaying a city's migration to Linux. If
it doesn't make Novell look weak, it sure hurts Red Hat's
reputation. It may be good (short-term) for Novell, but it's
dreadful for the community as a whole.
With kind regards,
