MS is paying Novell more than 8x what Novell pays MS.
James, I'd like to know your source of the above info. If you've a copy of their, Novell & Microsoft's, signed agreements/contracts, I sure would appreciate obtaining a copy of each or the site at which the copies could be obtained. There are too many, in my estimation, rumor's and hypothesis as to just what this arrangement means to us in the Linux movement and they need to be clarified.
Thx, Don
