| Perens also surmises that the deal may be the beginning of Novell's
| exit strategy from their Linux business, which "hasn't taken off, and
| won't anytime soon". Perens also believes Microsoft may indeed buy
| Novell, since Novell would lack the resources to fork the numerous
| essential GNU utilities that will be moving to GPL3.
