The company also confirmed that it will also be selling certain, as yet undisclosed, IP assets to CPTN Holdings LLC, a consortium organised by the Microsoft Corporation for $450 million (£282 million) in cash.

If his optimism doesn't turn out to be justified, even better! More hands on the Haiku deck

I'm eager to see this story unravelling.

QFT! I really wish Haiku were at the level of Linux in terms of community and software.

Stockholder value... it's time we learn to rely on our own work and knowledge again, instead of spreading cheeks for...

Wonder what happens next.

Np, here is another one

Novell's copyrights for the Unix operating system will remain under Attachmate's control as part of the companies' pending merger, a Novell spokesman said Wednesday.
The confirmation, which came in a terse message posted to Novell's website, seems to rule out questions of whether Unix assets are part of some 882 patents being sold to a Microsoft-led consortium, CPTN Holdings, as part of the deal.
"Novell will continue to own Novell's UNIX copyrights following completion of the merger as a subsidiary of Attachmate," the message stated.
