Did SCO Actually Buy What it Thought?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-that-makes-things-different dept.

Int27h quotes The Age saying "Just before Christmas last year, Novell announced publicly that SCO had known for some time that it did not receive all rights and ownership to UNIX technologies, despite public statements to the contrary. Novell has made public correspondence between lawyers representing both Novell and SCO." Lots of links and commentary on what continues to be one of the strangest stories in the history of Linux.

    We decided to go ahead and pay SCO for multiple licenses... it's not really that much money, and we don't have to worry about breaking the law or using an illegal variant of Unix.

    No matter what happens, we are safe, so we win.

    I really wish that IBM would Acquire/Merge with Novell.

    That would just be damn great, and likely offer more leverage to smash SCO into tiny itsy bitsy peices. :)

    I don't know, but last night was "put out or get out" night for your sister. Just for kicks, after I fucked her (and shat in her purse) I kicked her out as well

    could this be a statement of fraud on novell's part?
