[News] Novell Raises More Questions Than Provides Answers

Details of Novell-MS Pact - The SEC filing - Updated

,----[ Quote ]
| Just realized the full significance. Novell here is stepping outside
| the line of fire and agreeing with Microsoft that *end users* are
| the ones that you must go after in any patent infringement dispute.
| Shades of SCOsource. Thanks for nothing, Novell. More questions:
| When were Novell SUSE customers asked if they wished Novell to
| negotiate a agreement with Microsoft on their behalf? When were
| Novell SUSE customers asked about the terms of said agreement?W
| hat consideration does Microsoft get from Novell's customers?
| Does negotiating this agreement on Novell's customers' behalf
| indicate that Novell assumed Power of Attorney for their customers
| in this matter? Did Novell truly represent the best interest of
| their customers using Power of Attorney? Can Novell legally assume
| Power of Attorney for their customers without a written grant? Do
| Novell customers have the ability to "opt-out" of this agreement?
| Is this agreement binding on customers?

Details still fuzzy on Microsoft-Novell pact

| What, exactly, is covered by Microsoft?s $108 million and Novell's
| $40 million patent payments to each other? What did each company
| know/see/fear that spurred these payoffs? Inquiring minds want
| to know more.
