Word Perfect was sold to Corel almost fifteen years ago. Did Novell actually
sell off the software but retain the legal rights to pursue some sort of
settlement with Microsoft? And by this time wouldn't the statute of
limitations be up on whatever happened prior? And even then, doesn't
Novell's current relationship with Microsoft imply that any such issue has
already been resolved?
