Yes indeed! SCO is toast! Novell owns UNIX and UnixWare, and all of SCO’s legal cases go down the drain! YES! :)

PJ can now wear her red dress and dance, right after putting up this new post on Groklaw:  Court Rules: Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights! Novell has right to waive!
 
That’s it for SCO. Now that Novell has won the copyright case, SCO v. IBM is automatically dumped, and only IBM v. SCO and RedHat v. SCO remain. That is…SCO’s claims that IBM stole its copyrights and so on and so forth are all gone, because SCO doesn’t own a thing. But IBM’s counterclaims stay alive…and the fact that Novell owns the copyrights makes it so IBM’s case is a slamdunk on almost every point.

The same with RH v. SCO…since SCO doesn’t own a thing, RedHat never violated SCO’s copyrights, which means the judge can easily put out a summary judgment in favor of RH and be done with the whole mess.

What a great day…rejoice, for the US legal system has finally gotten wise to SCO’s tricks and lies and nailed them to the floor.

I haven’t read the ruling yet, because I wanted to post about it as soon as I read it :) Now let us go enjoy the brilliance of Judge Dale Kimball and rejoice! :)
