- Apple and Novell are not merging. That was pure silly rumor, and the
- USL deal proves it: Novell's priorities are elsewhere entirely. They
- are taking a breath and taking on Microsoft by themselves. A more
- likely next move for them would be a merger with Borland.

- >First of all, what happens to the FSF boycott of Apple?
-
- Irrelevant anyway, since GNU *is* effectively a boycott of USL (is that so
- hard to understand?)
