Novell Sued Microsoft Through Caldera?

Posted by michael on from the puppeteer dept.

cheesedog writes "The intrigue increases: According to this article in the Salt Lake Tribune, the secret terms of the sale of DR-DOS to Caldera included the provision that Caldera would have to sue Microsoft (for Novell by proxy) over the OS and that they would have to do so without revealing Novell's hand in it. Did Novell indirectly create a monster? Caldera's 300 million winnings against Microsoft are now being used to fund lawsuits against Linux (and Novell)."

    I know this wasn't the intention, but the implications behind what you said is extremely funny..

    Fuck idealism, right? I mean...we're talking about MICROSOFT here! Idealism only belongs in linux.

    That being said, microsoft is poopy.
