For those who don't remember this case, The SCO Group is a company founded
by Glenn Noorda, who also founded Novell. The SCO lawsuits were a method
where SCO was trying to assert that they owned Unix, and were also
asserting that the owned Linuxbecause there was some Unix code Linux. The
SCO vs. IBM was the original case that started this. All court cases were
placed on stay when SCO filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Eventually, the
courts allowed the SCO vs. Novell proceed, and Novell was able to prove
that it owned the rights to Unix, not SCO. For historical purposes, The
Santa Cruz Operation was a company that specialized in desktop PC Unix
systems. They sold their Unix division to Caldera (a Linux distro company)
who renamed itself "The SCO Group". The reason I am posting this is that
has SCO been successful in court, they could have jeopardized Linux. PJ
(Groklaw) states: 'Surely SCO's "We Own Linux" scam must be in the top ten
scams in history, not just in Utah.'
