I doubt that Novell will include anything from M$ that it can't GPL
Note that Novell cannot GPL (if this means "put under the GPL") contributions where it does not own the copyright. As to what we can include in our distributions, GPL definitely is not a requirement. We ship many packages under the BSD or X11 licenses, for example, These technicalities/legalities aside, I certainly agree with you. I personally consider this unlikely as well and extremely unlikely if it involves contributions to existing packages as opposed to some new package.
