Microsoft is bumping up its monetary investment in its controversial partnership with Novell. Styling the deal as a so-called incremental investment increase, Microsoft will buy up to $100 million in Suse Linux Enterprise Server support certificates. The certificates are sold and exchanged for IT support from Novell for its Suse Linux Enterprise Server. Microsoft and Novell struck their deal in November 2006 in an effort to boost interoperability between Microsoft's applications and Novell's open source operating system.

"which includes a clause prohibiting Microsoft and Novell from suing one another for copyright infringement".
It was my understanding that they agreed not to sue each other's customers, not each other. A rather large minor detail.
