Novell clarifies $40M payment to Microsoft as "peace of mind"
,----[ Quote ]
| But, regardless of what was said behind closed doors, as the deal was
| signed, in order for Red Hat's customers to perceive Microsoft threat
| to sue Linux users as even partially credible, it needs the market to
| perceive Novell's $40 million as respect for its patents. Period. Was
| the timing of Ballmer's up-ratcheted rhetoric coincidental? You be the
| judge.
