Can't you see the deal is hurting Free software in general? I have no
affiliation with any such company and I even used to be a fan of Novell's
work, being a SuSE user. Red Hat's flirting with Microsoft over
interoperability strikes a nerve as well and I'm evidently not the only one
that's suspicious (Michael Larabel begins to think about Ubuntu when he
hears about it).
Novell made a mistake and got received to make to make it. It's /that/
simple.
