Quite apart from that, there is a strong possibility that the way the 
deal is structured they could be in breach of the GPL. Take a look at 
Groklaw for more information on this.

I am frankly at a loss to see what Novell gain out of this. There are a 
number of theories about what MS gains out of it (see Groklaw).
