Truth Happens?

I really enjoy reading RedHat's Truth Happens page as it provides a comprehensive list of links to the controversial Novell <-> Microsoft pact.

(and for the cynical its more like a "shit happens" page!)

Nevertheless it looks like RedHat is furious about this pact though Im not sure "innovation tax" really means anything if there is a net flow of royalties to Novell from Microsoft.

What worries me though is the new influence over a lot of important open source stuff that Microsoft might have acquired.

With the pact being confidential in nature it will be hard to separate fact from FUD here as others have speculated.

So I guess some clarity over what Microsoft is getting out of all this would be nice, anybody?
