13-Year-Old Linux Dispute Returns As SCO Files New Appeal (theinquirer.net)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from THE INQUIRER: Now-defunct Unix vendor, which claimed that Linux infringed its intellectual property and sought as much as $5 billion in compensation from IBM, has filed notice of yet another appeal in the 13-year-old dispute. The appeal comes after a ruling at the end of February when SCO's arguments claiming intellectual property ownership over parts of Unix were rejected by a U.S. district court. That judgment noted that SCO had minimal resources to defend counter-claims filed by IBM due to SCO's bankruptcy.
"It is ordered and adjudged that pursuant to the orders of the court entered on July 10, 2013, February 5, 2016, and February 8, 2016, judgement is entered in favor of the defendant and plaintiff's causes of action are dismissed with prejudice," stated the document. Now, though, SCO has filed yet again to appeal that judgement, although the precise grounds it is claiming haven't yet been disclosed.
Can't someone kill this zombie process
No, it's maintained by systemd now.
My ism, it's full of beliefs.
They tried and that's why SCO filed the appeal, apparently they own the rights to 'kill', 'killall' and derivatives.
Nice to know that Darl still reads Slashdot.

A bit early to be publishing these April 1 Zombie Apocalypse stories, no?
SCO is like a turd that won't flush. No matter how many times you bury it in paperwork, just when you think it's finally gone ... then it comes bubbling up again.
