Parent article: Novell's IRC session on the Microsoft deal

Remember: I do only know what's publicly available about this deal. From that I can say, that it will cover future work at Novell for five years.

And I can correct you insofar as openSUSE is _not_ covered by the deal. It's about the Enterprise products (SLES, SLED). Users of openSUSE are not covered. But ("non-commercial") developers contributing to openSUSE are. And according to the IRC log this covenant should be broadened to all non-commercial developers of free software.
