<<The problem for Novell is that Merkey's technology worked. He had dozens of standard four-way servers clustered together, and he was getting near-linear performance. He also rewrote key NetWare Loadable Modules to show that applications could also benefit from this clustering.

Had Novell kept the technology, it would now have a highly scalable network operating system.>>

So this great clustering system (with near-linear performance) was not given back to Novell to continue to develop as their rightful intellectual property after they won the lawsuit ? They are just letting Merkey sit around and watch TV until November, then MSFT starts copying his disks ? I don't think so. I doubt the credibility of this story.
