Summary: Bits of news about Novell and SUSE (after Microsoft sponsorship)

THE case of Microsoft and Novell carries on and so does the SCO case, which changes focus somewhat.



It is rather sad that SUSE was bought by Novell, only to become a Microsoft-taxed distribution even for POS (more coverage here). A new post from Jos Poortvliet (SUSE) comes to KDE.org, further blurring the line between Microsoft and Linux (amid lots of sensationalist coverage about Microsoft pretending to 'contibute' to Linux). SUSE influence in KDE is not too healthy because of the strings, but it hopefully won't do too much damage.
