=46rom Groklaw: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=3D20101122130625952 "Novell has sold itself <http://www.novell.com/news/press/novell-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-attachm= ate-corporation/> to Attachmate Corporation. There is a side deal selling "certain intellectual property assets" to CPTN Holdings LLC, "a consortium of technology companies organized by Microsoft". SUSE goes to Attachmate, I gather, and will be a separate unit, so what goes to Microsoft's consortium?" ------ I'm not sure how this will affect the Linux community at this time. Note that SuSE will remain as a separate business unit under Attachmate. Groklaw includes a number of press reactions to this. One question I have is how this will affect the current SCO vs. Novell litigation that is in it's second appeal. And, of course, the SCO vs. IBM litigation. Currently the SCO vs. Novell case could possibly be heard by the 10th Circuit on January 18th. --=20 Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
