Good point about the management changes. That's what got SCO all turned
around too, unfortunately.

Well, the shareholders /did/ complain and pretty much oust the previous
management in ordered to put these guys in place, so however it goes,
it's definitely shareholder action that triggered it on this one.

One influential kernel hacker employed by Novell/SuSE I've not seen weigh
in is Greg KH. Given his outspokenness on binary kernel modules among
other things, I'd be very interested in reading his opinion. Has he been
keeping uncharacteristically low profile on this or have I just not seen
what he's put out on it?

The weird thing is, all the suits seem to like this thing, even tho the
protection is basically MS saying "We won't sue, unless we /really/ feel
like it", which means there's not really any protection at all.

Time will tell, but it does seem there's always something interesting
going on, often a couple somethings.
