And you won't hear any denials nor confirmations of this from Novell. Novell can't comment on such speculations until there is an actual agreement in place to purchase Novell.
Speculating about a possible sale or lack of a sale is (as Bryen said) a waste of effort. no one will be able to confirm or deny.. not because they don't want to say anything, but so that if there is a sale negotiation in process, they don't jeopardize that sale.... that plus the tight legal restrictions in place also prevent anyone from saying anything.
That would be premature and frankly, quite immature to do so. Even if Novell were bought out today, it would still have to undergo regulatory approval process by government agencies and thus would take a long time (possibly up to a year) before any transition became formalized.
Look at how long it's taken for Oracle and Sun to conclude their deal. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
