Re: [News] [Linux] Dell Buys Linux from Microsoft Corp.

Because Novell's soul isn't theirs any more. They've traded it in on
the privilage to become a failed puppet.

That might have some bearing as well. But MS could be just as happy
letting Novell kill themselves slowly by being in violation of GPL3 for
years, tying it up in court, generating more FUD-points to sell the
PHBs on.
