My guess remains that Judge Kimball decides that SCO did act outside their authority giving Novell the ability and option to void those licenses. If Judge Gross ever sees $20 million or so in cash on a table, he is going to decide who gets it.

And, certainly Judge Gross is unlikely to put that kind of money on the table in Judge Kimball's courtroom. the court could simply ask SCO to put the cash on the table and then the court could ask Novell to ratify or the money goes back to MS and SUN. Mettler adds his analysis: Some big slices of crow pie are being served and are likely to be served going forward. there are some filings in the SCO bankruptcy as well.

SCO can contend that it owes Novell nothing. as I see it, is that by pointing to the SYS V code in UnixWare and pretending it didn't come from UNIX.

SCO entered into 22 other SCOsource licenses, in addition to the Sun and Microsoft ones. I'm sure you can figure out why SCO's is longer. SCO's filing is 54 pages, with some cases attached. has morphed into exclusively Novell's counterclaims against SCO. Pamela Jones is exhausted, but enjoying every minute: Novell, IBM, Red Hat, Rest of the World: What?!?!? more.SCO: No, it's our code! Ours! Ours! Ours!.' moreĬonfused? Brian Proffitt explains: Here's a summary of the past five years: Then came the real humdinger, and my jaw dropped when I heard the following come out of his mouth: 'Linux is a copy of UNIX, there is no difference. directly contradicted what had previously testified. Now, the countersuit brought by Novell is being heard, and should be finished up this week. Last year, the court ruled that Novell owned the copyrights to original AT&T UNIX source code and derivatives, including SVRX (System V, Release X), and threw out the case. Not long afterwards, SCO filed for bankruptcy, but that Chapter 11 filing was only able to delay the inevitable trial to determine how much Novell was owed. The decision meant that SCO could be on the hook for as much as $20 million in unpaid royalties. Wayne Richardson reports from Utah: Last August, the nail was poised over SCO's coffin when Judge Dale Kimball ruled that Novell never relinquished the copyrights to UNIX, but nobody really knew when it would be driven home.

It's IT Blogwatch: in which Novell's countersuit against SCO has started, with bloggers highlighting hilarious, contradictory statements from SCO execs - enjoy schadenfreude much? Not to mention the hidden Apple parody in Grand Theft Auto IV.
