Nope, this is really happening.

Apple and Novell are not merging.  That was pure silly rumor, and the
USL deal proves it: Novell's priorities are elsewhere entirely.  They
are taking a breath and taking on Microsoft by themselves.  A more
likely next move for them would be a merger with Borland.

>First of all, what happens to the FSF boycott of Apple?

Irrelevant anyway, since GNU *is* effectively a boycott of USL (is that so
hard to understand?)
