There is mistake #1
Go back to the BSDi ruling. AT&T did not own Unix therefore Unix System Lab
did not own Unix thus Novel could not buy Unix. Unix has a long and troubled
history originally written much like Linux with all writers working for major
companies and/or major universities, the only internet access outside
government in those days.

I have no desire to get into a fight over the ownership of Unix with you.
As far as PJ, PJ is not thinking at the current moment or reading what SCO is
saying. Wish I had saved the USL to the SCO sites so you could get a
completely different perspective.
But, after all is said and done all this ruling was is answers to partial
summary judgments. It was not a resolution of the Novel suit. It was not a
resolution of the appeal which will certainly be filed. So it is only round
one. Lots of things can happen. Recall what happened to the judge in the
Microsoft case. This is not over.
