SCO Versus Novell Going All the Way

Posted by Zonk on from the to-the-wall dept.

Robert writes "Computer Business Review reports that ownership of the Unix System V code copyrights is set to be decided in court after a US District Judge rejected Novell Inc's second request that SCO Group Inc's slander of title case be dismissed." From the article: "Novell's second motion to dismiss SCO's slander of title claim was prompted by an apparently positive response from Judge Dale Kimball to its first request to throw out the case, although he rejected it having concluded that the arguments about the agreements at the heart of the case would be more properly heard on potential later motions for summary judgment or trial."

  1. Isn't Caldera a medicine for skin rashes? by Sir_Eptishous · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I used to work with several ex-SCO people in Santa Cruz. Great people to work with. They were all hardcore Linux/and/or/BSD people who were disgusted with the direction/erection that Darl McBride and his sad, Lindon, Utah ward members had taken the company they helped build.

    This suit is a joke, and I hope that Caldera gets theirs in the end.
    I also will firmly place my tinfoil hat on and assume that M$ has something to do with this...

    What if the judge ruled against Novell still owning the copyrights? We've all seen stranger things happen in the Amercian court system.
