Novell: We’re a ‘Mixed-Source’ Company

Novell’s controversial pact with Microsoft reflects the desire of the number two Linux seller to position itself as a mixed-source company. Speaking to ZDNet Asia last week, Maarten Koster, the newly-appointed president of Novell Asia-Pacific, noted that the company positions itself in the market differently from its rivals. “You’ve got Red Hat as a pure open source company, and you’ve got Microsoft as a [commercial] license-based company,” Koster said. “The reality is, most Novell customers run a mixed-source IT environment.”
