Novell Wins vs. SCO

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-wait-a-minute dept.

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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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..

    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.
