Jonas Bosson (FFII Sweden) is one among many who explained what Novell had done with Microsoft and why this site exists in the first place:

Summary: Reminder of why Techrights exists and what motivated us (the above petition has long been offline, but we have this local copy of it; 2,221 people added their signatures to this petition by Bruce Perens)
MORE than 7 weeks from now we’re turning 16. It all started in 2006, i.e. around the time of the above petition. We’re of course covering a lot more topics now; what’s more, we’re not limited to campaigning on a single issue. Just over 6 weeks from now the Microsoft-Novell deal turns 16. Then, we too turn 16.
It’s possible that by wintertime, i.e. before the anniversary, we’ll have already begun deploying the new CMS under Alpine Linux. It’s also probable we’ll keep on going for another decade, even if the World Wide Web can barely survive that long.
To get a taste of what the new CMS looks like, check this site or this Gemini capsule. It is worth remembering that this is still work in progress changelog here). █
