As I see it, the issue of copy write infringement per se remains moot,
and the FOSS community can not yet let down its guard. Since Novell
(owner of Unix) is not about to sue Novell (owner of SUSE) there is time
for a breather. But what happens when someone comes along and buys out
Novel, drops SUSE and starts the whole thing over again? It doesn't take
much imagination to figure out who has the financial clout and the
motivation for such a step.
Incidentally, can SCO appeal that ruling?

While they can always appeal, there's no guarantee the appeal will be
accepted. The onus is on them to show the judge is wrong. As for
Novell or anyone else continuing with this, the first thing they have to
do is show infringement. Given that SCO produced nothing in this
regard, I doubt anyone else can.
BTW, it's copyright, not copy write.
