"Application development is what led to affiliate revenues"

Well yes but there wouldn't be an affiliate revenues if the application didn't have a distribution to umm distribute it. This is the old chicken and egg argument :-)

I think if you explicitly decided anything about affiliate revenues from your software you haven't read the license you are releasing it under.

Whether Novell regrets taking a particular course of action rather depends on why they did it - which I have absolutely zero information about.
