Can Novell get its good name back?

| Novell faced such a choice six months ago. Microsoft offered it a
| fat check for its corporate soul.
|
| Novell took the check.
|
| Now it wants a do-over. Novell promises to (finally) share the
| full agreement. It couldn't before because, you see, it was being
| investigated for back-dating stock options, which should tell
| you all you really need to know.
|
| Oh, and Novell insists it's not for software patents, that it's
| supporting the EFF's efforts to challenge what it considers
| bogus patents. Trouble is that many in the open source community
| think all patents on math are bogus.

Not bad for an open source trader. No transparency.
