  20.    Being only a few miles down the road from Novell, I get a clear
  21. picture that these particular rubes are every bit as evil as the USL
  22. folks. Given Novell's current practive with Netware, I see a
  23. per-machine yearly license-to-use for UNIX coming real soon now. Oh
  24. yeah, and I'm sure they relish the thought of raking in the bucks from
  25. BSDI.
  26.    Don't worry about Novell. They've got the skills necessary to screw
  27. us all over yet.
