   Court Rules: Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights!
   Novell has right to waive!

   Friday, August 10 2007 @ 04:52 PM EDT

   Hot off the presses: Judge Dale Kimball has issued a 102-page ruling
   <http://www.groklaw.net/pdf/Novell-377.pdf> on the numerous summary
   judgment motions in SCO v. Novell. Here it is as text. Here is what
   matters most:

       [T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX
       and UnixWare Copyrights.

   That's Aaaaall, Folks! The court also ruled that "SCO is obligated to
   recognize Novell's waiver of SCO's claims against IBM and Sequent".
   That's the ball game. There are a couple of loose ends, but the big
   picture is, SCO lost. Oh, and it owes Novell a lot of money from the
   Microsoft and Sun licenses.



cheers
