Novell Wins vs. SCO

Aim Here writes "According to Novell's website, and the Salt Lake Tribune, the jury in the SCO v. Novell trial has returned a verdict: Novell owns the Unix copyrights. This also means that SCO's case against IBM must surely collapse too, and likely the now bankrupt SCO group itself. It's taken 7 years, but the US court system has eventually done the right thing ..." No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this.

Darl? Is that you?

Organ sale?

[Overzeetop]

I mean, their livers are probably shot, but I have to believe that there are other organs worth harvesting from the board of directors and the legal firm representing them.

yes, the brains should be quite valuable, never having been used

You forgot the "I'll get modded down for this, but here goes..." line in your post.

No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this.

What are you doing? Trying out lines for cheesy movie dialog?

[Novell stands over the fallen body of SCO]

Novell: No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this. Come on everybody, let's go home

[As Novell turns and walks off, the hand of SCO twitches slightly and we hear a sinister laugh.]

No Shatner, it is not a contradiction; it is a sentence fragment.

"Fuck PJ."

Umm, I don't think she wants you, but it's probably okay to keep her in your maturbatory Rolodex if you want.

[Anonymous Coward]

Reasonable people understand that evidence is necessary to back up their spurious claims.

I fail to see how this has relevance to the spurious claim presented.

This is not the last we will ever hear of any this

You forgot Slashdot dupes!

Does "SCO Group Likes Its Stock at These Levels"?

Re:Winning in this case...

[Angst Badger]

That's a valid question with respect to Novell, but asking how IBM can afford seven years of court costs is a bit like asking whether Sauron can stay up all night.

Re:SCO still wants to pursue the IBM case

[colinrichardday]

I believe that IBM will settle for having a pyramid of skulls in Lindon, UT as a warning to any future Darl McBrides.

Smile, Damn You!

[NickFortune]

What about when Novell starts abusing their position? Maybe not now, maybe not in a few years, but you never know what happens or who buys what company..

Ah, shaddap and be happy for once. You can go back to playing prophet-of-doom tomorrow :D

Wait a minute... Maureen O'Gara has a slashdot account?!?

watch what you say

"No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this."

You fool! You've doomed us all!

Finally!

[failedlogic]

I have finally found my inner-peace.

I held back on paying SCO for licensing since I've been using a Linux desktop for a while on my personal desktop. I couldn't stand it anymore - sleepless nights, the shakes, sweating, and I took up smoking and booze. I was about to rip out the credit card today after work and pay them. Good thing I read Slashdot first!

Re:Doubt it

[julesh]

You're arguing over nothing. GP asserts Darl works for the antichrist. You assert he was working for Microsoft. You say tomato, I say tomato.
