Check the comments. Novell might be astroturfing again.

| Cochran said that he was aware that to be successful, Microsoft's role must
| be to build a bridge to the open source community. "Our relationship with
| Novell is important for several reasons. Through our TCA (technical
| collaboration agreement), we are delivering solutions that allow you to
| deploy Microsoft/Novell solutions that work better together in the areas of
| virtualisation, systems management, directory federation and document
| compatibility."
|
| He continued by stating "It's also important to note that Microsoft and
| Novell have created a new model for sharing valuable intellectual property
| that respects the diversity of one another's business models and it's this
| respect that allows our relationship to exist." Customers not only benefit
| from the tangible results of the TCA, but also from an assurance, secured
| through a legal covenant, that they are not subject to patent assertion by
| either company.
