Any stock market listed company is for sale at any moment. nothing new there I 
would say. Have a look: Microsoft is for sale: Consult your bank and
start buying up the shares from there... (other words for saying: so what?)

As for independence: do we want / need this? Just look at all the services 
provided by Novell for the project: 
- openSUSE BuildService -> How many servers can 'we' as community afford 
without a partner, who is going to host it? Who is taking care of the energy
bill?
- Bugzilla: Why splitting it off? What's the real gain (other than having a 
different branded stylesheet?) (maybe having a CNAME from
bugzilla.opensuse.org would be nice though; one that brings me to bugzilla, and 
not to en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug )
- Bandwidth for mirror syncs: How much bandwidth can we afford without a strong 
parter to our side?

Nothing against the idea of appearing as a strong project and putting a point 
to it: but consider everything when shouting loud out for 'let's get
independent from Novell'.
