Sorry for not posting more in recent days, I had a job come up and I also decided to redouble my development efforts over at edu-nix.org, something I was neglecting while up here on my soapbox. I also uploaded a bunch of modules at slax.org, and will have a beta CD of the new version out soon. Okay, enough off-topic…

Law.com is running an article outlining how, despite turmoil throughout the tech industry for most companies’ general counsels, Novell’s Joseph LaSala had himself "a banner year" in 2006.

The article outlines how LaSala has been involved in two recent legal victories over Novell’s arch-enemy, I mean partner Microsoft, and despite being named in a shareholder suit over previously granted stock options, received a sizable bonus for his "exceptional contributions".

Pamela Jones of Groklaw believes that Novell General Counsel LaSala’s recent $350,000 bonus was due, at least in part, to the Microsoft-Novell deal.

Journalist Pamela Jones, editor of Groklaw, a blog that closely follows open-source intellectual property disputes, mused that LaSala’s bonus was likely “related to the recent Microsoft deal.” “Novell views the Microsoft partnership as a plus,” Jones wrote in an e-mail. “They may well feel that whoever worked on the deal deserves recognition. I don’t know if Mr. LaSala was involved, but it seems likely that the general counsel would be.”
