[Mageia-discuss] Rumor: VMWare will buy Novell Linux division (about OpenSuse offer)

[André Machado]

On offer from OpenSuse to offer your build system, I would like to remind them that an article in the NY Post < http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/novell_inc_reaches_two_part_sale_lZKRHKFYO5T9cKq9Dy7WQO >  says that, in about 4 weeks, Novell, Inc. will be sold to two companies, one that will stay with the Linux partition and one that will hold the rest. It is speculated that the party who will remain with Linux is that VMWare, inc.

This warning is just to stay alert. Remember what happened to OpenSolaris after Oracle buy Sun. Would not it be nice if we had a promise now that could not be performed later.
