And this is quite normal for such contracts...
When someone receives money for nothing (Novell), and no one even
tries to explain for what, then something is fishy. I do not want to
know how much money exactly is the price, but I would like to know
what about is that deal. It is not clear now. From their statements it
appears that there are no patent violations, there are no any
problems, but MS will pay X money to Novell, Novell will pay Y, and X
Y, i.e. Novell receives some money for nothing. Again, I do not care
how much money Novell gets, but I would like to know what MS are
buying. And until they actively hide it behind a bunch of buzz words,
which say nothing I will continue to be suspicious.
