But Attachmate is concurrently selling *all* 882 of Novell's patents to a
holding company that Microsoft organized and is a major owner of.  As I am
understanding, this includes patents that cover Unix.  Not sure if
Attachmate is letting go of Unix copyrights though.  They plan to keep
SUSE but as a separate business unit form Novell's legacy unit.  Remember,
Microsoft was found to be financially backing SCO's primary bid to up-end
Linux over the Unix infringement issues.
