SCO finally finished?


TaipeiTimes reports that a federal judge has ruled that Novell, and not SCO, owns the trademarks to Unix and UnixWare. The ruling likely will stop cold SCO's effort to extract billions of dollars in royalties from Linux and Unix vendors.

The ruling "vindicates the position Novell has taken since the inception of the dispute with SCO," said Joe LaSala, senior vice president, Novell. "It settles the issue of who owns the copyrights of Unix in Novell's favor."

Previously, it had been shown that Microsoft secretly bankrolled SCO's efforts to bleed the open-source movement dry via royalty payments.

Here's hoping SCO gets sold off to pay the legal costs it has inflicted on IBM, Novell, etc...
