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 [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.
