Because Novell's support of "OOXML" relies evily on .Net and MS-sponsored software. Bingo! Novell as an independent entity would probably be on our side in many respects - they don't appear to have threatened people with patents, nor argued for software patentability - but the problem many people now have with Novell is that they aren't acting like an independent entity any more. By choosing their roadmap, you end up signing up for a Microsoft agenda: .NET, OOXML, dodgy specifications, ballot-stuffing, selective indemnity, and so on. That's why people are so uneasy about the Novell connection in any given project.
