Novell Buys Ximian

Oooo I dunno. The motivations seem different: AOL's enormous, didn't need Netscape and may just have done it to muck about and maybe squeeze Microsoft for better terms on IE.
Novell doing this seems more like a company actually trying to find some new revenue from it, because they're not doing so well elsewhere.
Of course that means it could go one of two ways: they could put their all into it and make it enormous, or they could make a right hash of it and hastily try something else, chucking Ximian to the dogs.
