Editing Novell (section)

===Acquisition by Micro Focus and OpenText===
In September 2014, mainframe software company [[Micro Focus]] announced it was buying The Attachmate Group, including Novell, for {{US$|1.2&nbsp;billion}}.<ref name="Jackson_MicroFocus"/> The acquisition closed on November 20, 2014, and the SUSE organization was split out separately from the rest of the former Novell organization within Micro Focus.<ref name="PR_closed_2014"/> SUSE was sold to [[EQT AB]] in 2019.<ref name="Murphy_2019"/>

The Novell products themselves were relabeled and dispersed among the file and networking services, collaborations, and security product lines of Micro Focus, such that offerings like Open Enterprise Server, GroupWise, and ZENworks became billed as Micro Focus products with no mention of their Novell past.<ref name="MF_datasheets_2021"/> The one page at the Micro Focus website listing former Novell products did not even mention NetWare.<ref name="MF_listing_2022"/> 

In January 2023, Micro Focus was in turn acquired by Canadian software company [[OpenText]].<ref name="CRN_2023"/> Again, the former Novell products are listed within OpenText product groups without being identified as to their Novell past.<ref name="OT_2024"/>
