Given that SCO Group license Unix from Noveel which owns the Unix Patnet to Trade secretes onUnix methods and the copyright to System V code..
The only thing SCO group can enforce is the terms of a sub license of a sublicense..
Given their actions of harming trade secrets of Novell..Novell does have a case to complete put SCO group out of business pernamently both in their license business strategy and everythign else..
What are Novell's legal actions it refers to in its letter to SCO?
It is obvious that they could revoke all licenses that were entered into with SCO Group which kill all SCO Gruop licensing plans and income! It also by pure design takes the least amount of time to implement.
Is there any other legal optins Novell has besides the obvious ones such as this one above?
If it smells like a duck and craps like on..then most problably it is a DUCK!
Side Note: The Bank loan secured by the Founder listeed in the financials pays for monthly cash flow needed to keep afloat..its due in October with a promise by founder to keep SCO Group afloat through end of Novemeber..thus they do not have the monye for a legal fund.. the only way they can get it is through license fees..:)
I thought that only one that owned the Unix trademark and its secrets was Open Group..whereas SCO only owns copyrights to their own unix code..that happens to be recognized as Unix with and R because it passed Open Groups certifications..
it would not make sense for each certified vendor under the Unix trademark name to have its own trade secret rights that overlapped another unix vendor!

Why would anyone go on record of understanding the GPL well enough to dispprove a mjor portion of SCO Group sown statements?
Per GPL if an individual developer by any action added code that was a derivative work of another copyright then GPL cannot be the copyright holder of that work..
That basically means that there was frameworks in place to hadle the infringment issue before a lawsuit depsite SCO Groups claims to the contrary..
It also means that the damage claims rest with those individual developers or their companies not USERS!!
and of course the actual trade secrets and othe rcliams of Unix IP are nto worth the paper they are printed on according to the 1993 suit between BSDI, ULC, and etc.. in which the community won thus forcing specific Unix methods and code into public domain vi athe original work of those free coders..

Its very telling that SCO Gorupo has not sued BSD..the case in 1993 of BSd vs Unix is going to come out in IBM's response to being charged..
All BSD Code shared with SCO Unix IP code is not applicable to an IP claim accodring to the 1993 case...
Since AIX code does have BSD shared code..it seem sthat SCO is barking up the wrong tree..It also seems that IBM hinted at this approach with its mention that it has an unrevocable license to unix code(the bsd shareed code)
We of the linux community should thank BSD for sticking with their defense of the lawsuit case of 1993 adn the successfull winning of that case!
Pretend for a moment that someone completely independently codes a processof one click ordering-although they can be sued for infringing on Amazon's IP this cannot be confused with copying code..and even then it comes down to is the Patent a valid one..
Waht we know for sure that Kernels and OSes are different enough in the unix ful world that one solution while have some code the saem and solving the smae problem can have vastly different code foot prints on various OSes o fboth Unix and Linux..and thus saying 20 lines matches has no meaning in this scheme of things on the basis of patent infringement it has to be base don the full code footprint and its effects for thsoe 20 lines of code..ie ho wimport are thos e20 lines towards meeting the ful infringment conditions..
To complicate matters if SCO Group by accident distrbuted code under GPL via their Linux distribution they have already violated the first conditions of a trade secrecy by not keeping the methods secret..
Apple had the same problem with Microsfot in the late 1980s and early 1990s in that Microsoft did copy or come up with code independently that was tghe saem as Apple's but it caqme down to how important was that code to the IP rights that Apple was claiming infringment on..and notice Apple lost that battle..
and also notice Apple is still in buinsess for basing the decision to sue or not or settle on business economic conditions. SCO Group should follow tha texample...

This is bad as saying JBoss is not opensource in order to lock them out of somehow competing with SunOne the Slow beast J2EE server
