"then those millions of dollars paid to Microsoft by Novell are buying exactly what, please?"

Well, I'm just another tech-nerd, but my understanding was that part of what they bought was a promise that *Microsoft* would not sue *Novell's customers*. Since this suit doesn't involve Microsoft or Novell customers, I don't see how you can draw any conclusions about that deal from this suit.
