Yes, that's right - for all of you that were holding your breath to see the outcome, you realized you couldn't. If you somehow did manage to hold your breath for the past 7 years, you might want to call the Guinness Book or World Records or something.

After years of litigation, the District Court of Utah late yesterday ruled that Novell, not the SCO Group, owns the copyrights to the Unix operating system.
...
The long-running case began in 2003 when the company sued IBM, claiming that Linux is an unauthorized subset of Unix, and that SCO had true ownership of Unix and UnixWare Technology after Novell’s sale of part of its Unix business to SCO’s predecessor, the Santa Cruz Organization, in 1995. Novell joined the case after the IBM suit, claiming it did not sell the intellectual property rights to the Santa Cruz Organization. Novell began registering copyrights to Unix after that, and SCO sued Novell in 2004.

It is amazing that there are stupid investors that invest in a company like SCO. Some investor sunk $100 million into SCO to take it private. And it is still in Chapter 11 AND is is still going to try to sue Novell.

"This significant financial backing is positive news for SCO's customers, partners and resellers who continue to request upgrades and rely upon SCO's UNIX services to drive their business forward," he said. According to a statement from the company, SNCP already has a business plan for SCO that includes pursuing its legal claims. SCO has been locked in bitter legal battles with both IBM and Novell over Unix copyright issues. Those battles haven't gone all that well for the company recently.

In a hilarious event, SCO is going to be delisted from the Nasdaq stock exchange. They have no cash resources and are in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Nice job SCO. That's what you get for trying to use the messed up patent system to your advantage when you had nothing.

The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") , a leading provider of UNIX(R) software technology and mobile services, today announced that it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on December 21, 2007 indicating that as a result of having filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to delist the company's securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market and will suspend trading of the securities effective at the open of business on Thursday, December 27, 2007.

An insight into the mind of Santa Cruz Operations, and why they'll succeed. SCO files for a delay to strengthen their case by first attacking the original pirates. SCO won't go down until after they've take GNU and Linux down first.Next Page »
