Are you advocating that Novell should only make a company buy one company
of it's software and then be able to install it on thousands of computers?
That they should pay as much as a company who installs it on only 10
computers?

The answer is very simple, and there's two reasons. One, because they are
getting more benefit out of the product. Regardless of that, the company
can decide HOWEVER much they want to charge for their product. (within
law) If you don't like their policies, buy another package!
