    Exact thing I was looking at.

    What's this about Microsoft paying for protection??

    When was the last time MS actually kept its promises, especially in the face of reaping millions? Hmmm?

    If Novell will pay me a mere $4 million AU over the next five years, I'll promise not to sue any of their customers for any reason at all.

    This offer is also open to any other companies who want to take me up on it.
