From Slashdot:
In response to SCO's amended complaint against Novell alleging
copyright infringement, Novell subsidiary SUSE has requested from the
International Chamber of Commerce that SCO be barred from asserting
copyright over SUSE Linux due to the UnitedLinux agreement between
Caldera, SUSE, Connectiva and Turbolinux. This agreement requires
that SCO arbitrate with SUSE instead of filing claims, removes the
copyright from any work SCO produced while in UnitedLinux, gives SUSE
sublicensing rights to SCO's copyrights, and constitutes an SCO
commitment that any code released under an OSS license in UnitedLinux
remain Open Source. Novell has filed a motion to stay SCO's claims
against Novell until the outcome of this arbitration. So now it looks
like Linux users are protected both through the APA between Novell
and SCO, but the UnitedLinux agreement as well.
