Whilst I'm sure we're all happy to see SCO getting
slapped down this isn't cause for celebration.
The ruling establishes that Novell owns the Unix IP
(whatever that may be) and not SCO, which is of little
interest to Linux.
The IBM case is the important one which may not now go
to trail - where I was hoping Linux would be cleared
of containing Unix IP (as far as any remains).
With Novell becoming so cosy with MS the fact that
they now own this (questionable) IP is not necessarily
a good thing.
