As you might know, there was a contract between Novell and open-slx, in which both companies had agreed that, among other things, open-slx would not start an Enterprise version (very roughly put). This contract has been terminated by Novell recently, allowing open-slx to also announce an enterprise product.
Rough indeed. I believe, the contract was mostly beneficial to open-slx. Otherwise, open-slx would have exercised its right to terminate much earlier. No need to wait for Novell to take action.
It seems you were not informed about that, although I have to point out that you could have read it in the press release.
From what I learned through the media, the contract may now expire (unless renewed). The immediate announcement of an enterprise product was a surprise to me.
