Novell Attachmate attracts class action lawsuit investigations

[ Thanks to smk for this link. ]

"From the 'Linux Patents? What Patents?' files:

"Not everyone is happy about Attachmate's bid to acquire Novell for $2.2 billion. In fact, the deal has now attracted at least two (and likely many more to come) legal 'investigations' which could ultimately result in class action law suits.

"One of the investigations is being led by Weiss & Lurie, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm while a second investigation is being run by Kendal Law Group, led by former federal judge Joe Kendall."
