Bingo guys. Novell is the vendor responsible for Moonlight, but only because Microsoft shared the related proprietary methods with Novell so they could create a client for GNU/Linux. You see, it is important for microsoft to be able to say that they are are not guilty of more monopolistic behavior by making yet another proprietary codec that you have to run windows to use...because it is available to GNU/Linux users via Novell. Microsoft will not officially make any GNU/Linux software in-house which is why their relationship with a software maker like Novell was such a necessity for them. Of course the software barely works, but that is to be expected, since actually being usable is not important just the fact that the technology is sort-of available gets them off the hook. Especially in the EU.
