The breakdown of trust is one of the major goals from Microsoft's deal
with Novell.  The problem is, I agree with the above;  if Novell are
willing to agree to a deal such as they did, they will surely be willing
to sneak in code which they know is full a patent-based pitfalls and
caltrops.  

Trust is certainly broken here.
