Hmmmmmm....I'm beginning to think this is a takeover by borland--a fairly cheap one at that of one of the primo linux players.

Dale gets the Chairmen of the Board Spot? Plus one other borland seat plus Torvalds equals a block of three. They only need one of the other board members' vote to have control.

Cowpland may be making nice-nice with Dale now, but I suspect we will see his resignation soon, imo. Dale proved his mettle at Borland. I don't think he will have any problem cracking the whip at Corel.

What does Borland get--marketing machine, distribution system, 50 million built in users.

I was thinking of selling, but I'm pretty happy where things stand the more I think about it.

The rights do not trade until they are separated from the shares. This happens when there is an attempted hostile takeover bid. If the rights are separated from the shares, the outstanding shares balloons like crazy. This is the financial equivalent of a trojan horse. Here's the link:
