It wasn't that shocking if you heard his reasoning. He would have continued working on Gentoo, but at that point he was $40k in debt due to his work on Gentoo. He needed to make ends meet, and working at Microsoft was one way to solve that.
Seems kind of discriminatory to only go after internet companies. Anyone who does business there is supporting the system as much as Google, etc. are. I really think it is just some politicians trying to score some cheap points.

Has Novell made any noise about this since SCO
found the supposed amendent from 1996 which gave
