There have been questions recently about the status of the Hula project, and I apologize for the silence while things have been sorted out on Novell's end.
The quick synopsis is, Novell no longer has anyone working full-time on Hula...

I believe GroupWise is the product that directly competes with Microsoft Exchange, not Hula.
Please look into Novell's entire product line before posting such FUD.

Novell abandons open source Exchange competitor
Software vendor discovers that the world doesn't need another email server
Tom Sanders in California, vnunet.com 29 Nov 2006
Novell has axed support for the Hula open source collaboration suite for email, calendaring and contact lists.
The company decided to pull its developers off the project because the software lacks opportunities in the market.

I don't profess to be an expert on the Novell product line, or the Microsoft one for that matter, but email calendaring and contact lists sounds alot like exchange.
Thank you for the clarification.
Maybe this is very innocent, but they seem to have taken a solid, stable program from a high-profile Frenchman and looked for ways to marry it with GitHub, i.e. Microsoft/NSA
People leak a lot of material to Techrights because they know, based on the track record, that the sources will be protected and whatever gets published will stay online, in full, no matter how stubborn an effort (even lawsuits and blackmail) will be sent its way
