Sun, if you remember, also signed an agreement with SCO.   This clearly
provided a precedent that they needed those rights to conduct business.  
Now that those rights are reverting to Novell, Sun, too, will have to sign
a Microsoft-like deal.

But wait...did Novell just sign an /exclusive/ deal with Microsoft?  or
what?

Sun should be worried...very worried.
