SCO Asks Judge To Give Them the Unix Copyright

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we-promise-to-walk-it-every-day dept.

Raul654 writes "In March, the jury in the Novell/SCO case found that Novell owns the copyright to Unix. Now, SCO's lawyers have asked judge Ted Stewart to order Novell to turn over the Unix copyright to them. 'SCO contends the jury did not answer the specific issue before Stewart that involves a legal principle called "specific performance," under which a party can ask a court to order another party to fulfill an aspect of an agreement.'" Over at Groklaw, PJ is deep into a community project to annotate SCO's filing. It's for the benefit of future historians, but it makes amusing reading now.

    Here we go again.

    This guy is modded flamebait for being far less offensive than the idiots above him, and actually giving reasons for his positions. Just another example of moderator bias and hypocrisy on /. As if you mods that modded him down wouldn't respond with anger to being being slandered yourselves.

    Actually we prefere to be called average American patriots who are sick and tired of being ripped off by the politicians elected to represent us. You want to support all these social causes? Good, empty your own pockets and donate to the cause.

    It would have been very nice, wouldn't it, if you'd been able to opt out of paying for the expenses of the Iraq war.
