Looking at the letter form Elliot and the company history from Novell:
http://www.novell.com/news/press/pressroom/history.html
I can only wonder what they mean with "Over the past several years, the Company has attempted to diversify away from its legacy division with a series of acquisitions and changes in strategic focus that have largely been unsuccessful.".

Does that include the microsoft deal or only the acquisitions of Senforce Technologies, SiteScape and PlateSpin Ltd.? In either case it might not be very bad for FOSS. (Although I'm not saying that those acquisitions and the deal where either good or bad for FOSS)

Or do they include everything major Novell has done with Linux? (6 years is still several, right?)
