Suse co-founder and kernel team member Hubert Mantel has resigned from Novell, the server software company that acquired the German Linux company in 2004. Mantel announced the move on a Suse Linux mailing list Tuesday, and Novell confirmed the move Wednesday. "I just decided to leave Suse/Novell. This is not (any) longer the company I founded 13 years ago," Mantel said in the e-mail. "I have been the maintainer of the Suse kernel for more than a decade now. I'm very confident the Novell management will find a competent successor very quickly."

Member since:
why the hell some company does not buy Trolltech and open source (LGPL or BSD) the frameworks? What is it about Trolltech that avoids this?
Trolltech is basically owned by its employees. Since Trolltech is growing rapidly and is actually making profit, there is no reason why they should sell it to someone like Novell. There are rumors that Novell tried to buy Trolltech, but Trolltech employees didn't want that (thankfully in my opinion, I think Novell would certainly have succeeded in ruining Trolltech as well).
