SCO vs. Linux: More Over Than EverPeople haven't been losing much sleep over this for awhile, but you may be interested to hear: "On Friday, Utah federal court judge Dale Kimball rejected SCO's claim that an earlier deal with Novell gave the company full ownership rights over Unix. The ruling effectively gutted a lawsuit that SCO filed against Novell in 2004. To take your mind back to the halcyon days of SCO's legal attack on the Linux community, see our 2003 interview with SCO CEO Darl McBride. Here he is talking about the company's suit against IBM: "Our case is up to $3 billion--they'd have to come up from a few hundred million dollars to settle. Every month we keep finding more and more [Linux code that violates our Unix System contract]. We'd want a settlement and royalty [on Linux] going forward."
