    Novell says: hogwash! (and rightly so. Go get 'em Novell).

    Microsoft put its foot in its mouth, again!

    From the article: "When we entered the patent cooperation agreement with Microsoft, Novell did not agree or admit that Linux or any other Novell offering violates Microsoft patents."
