Contractors to Bear Burden if SCO Chases AU Govt

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gonna-get-messier-before-it-gets-better dept.

Peter writes "Contractors are set to bear the burden of SCO legal action if the company chases Australian Government departments. Apparently there are provisions in the Australian Copyright Act which allows the govt to assume IP rights then negotiate a "fair and reasonable" payment for those rights. This is in addition to contract provisions which state that contractors must accept liability for third party IP disputes."
