<Sweaty Ballmer counts cash as a percentage of Novell revenue />
Brad Smith: "And you’ll see, as well, an economic commitment from Novell to
Microsoft that involves a running royalty, a percentage of revenue on open

"Microsoft currently collects royalties from some companies that use Linux in
their computing environments, Gutierrez said. However, he declined to indicate
