Well, from the reports, [another story at 
http://www.vnunet.com/News/1153770 ] we can gather that Novell intends 
to set YaST free under the GPL.  Novell does seem to be giving away an 
important part of what it bought for all those millions of dollars. 
 YaST has given me great comfort of use for the past 4 years, and after 
this, more people can freely use YaST and `have fun'.  Good quality 
custom distributions may become possible because of this move.  

We could instead say,

Novell says ...
               have fun!

That's the bottom line :)
