Novell no longer has to spend time creating a netware kernel, they can get all of the advantages that Linux gives as it gets better without Novell being the only ones doing the work.
Sure, Netware has apache, tomcat, ssh, and whilst I don't know about the timing of those examples, it was ages after Linux had it that netware had MySQL as an app and I'd imagine there are a heap of other examples of apps that run on linux that don't have netware versions.
We use Netware, and it has some really great features which I wouldn't want to live without, but I work with Linux also and there's a stack of stuff that I'd love to see available on a server running netware.
