I'm not what you mean "for both Red Hat and Novell". Do you mean on
Microsoft's part? Their approaches to Microsoft's motions have been very
different. It is not clear at all that any Novell-type agreement is
necessary, and unless Red Hat's legal counsel and developers determine that
an agreement is necessary, why would they want to go down this road? I have
been a full-time Linux-only user for 9 years now, and while technological
superiority is the reason for a very large part of my loyalty, politics has
been also. I ditched my copy of OpenSuse last week.
