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.

    But at least that part is over. There's still a little cleaning up to do but this one could be over and done with finally this summer. If you like Groklaw, head over and give PJ a pat on the back for her long perseverence.

    Congrats to Novell's legal team.

    /SCO die,die,die!

    Aaaaand we shouldn't forget the other interested parties. Who knows why Microsoft would fund a litigious shell of a company, but those who forget it are likely to suffer if they start trusting Microsoft too much.

    This. Is a contradiction. Justice delayed is justice denied. Always.

    "finds a way to remove Darl's vocal cords"?

    There are several ways to do that which are quite well known. It's a testament to our community that no-one has implemented any.

    This has been a Microsoft smear campaign again Linux all along, and it's not over. Why do you think that MS has been funding the entire thing?

  6. Why does PJ matter so much to you? by walterbyrd · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fuck PJ. She's a publicity whore no better than Darl. Shameless publicity whore. She profited in a grand way from this too-doo. Point. Of. Fact.
    And "who is PJ"? Just some Small Town Paralegal *that just happened to be interested in Linux*? - YEAH RIGHT. I got a bridge.
    Reasonable people understand that PJ works for IBM. Reasonable people understand that there is no "PJ", that IBM spun up a screen name and went to town.

    Even if your claims about PJ were true (and I do say if) what difference would it make? Why do you care? Why are you so angry?

    Can you point out anything that PJ posted that is not true, or not fair?
