Novell's .Net moment
,----[ Quote ]
| Novell has struggled to compete in the open-source world. Combining with
| Microsoft hasn't helped. So why not, as Dave suggests, link up with
| Microsoft's .Net code to build an ecosystem around it that would complement
| Microsoft's own efforts to do so?

| Let's face it: there are still hordes of developers out there who love
| Microsoft and would probably prefer to create open-source projects
| around .Net instead of Java or the LAMP stack. Novell could orchestrate this
| since Microsoft appears to have a PR problem with doing so.

GPLv3 is still a big problem for Novell and it's getting adopted very fast.
