   SCO loses again   
   31 Mar 10 02:05:09   
   
   From: bo774@FreeNet.Carleton.CA   
      
   It took a jury just 8 hours of deliberation to reach a unanimous   
   decision that Novell, not SCO owns the copyright to Unix.   
      
   SCO had sued Novell for slander of title, after Novell made   
   a public announcement about having retained title to Unix.   
      
   In additions to the billions SCO claimed from IBM and Linux   
   using enterprises SCO wanted $200,000,000 from Novell for   
   having "damaged" SCO by pointing out that Novell owns Unix.   
      
   The facts of the case have been known to everyone for years,   
   but SCO attempted to spread Fear Uncertainty and Doubt among   
   Linux users, years after SCO became a laughingstock.   
      
   I'm so relieved SCO won't be knocking on my door and demanding   
   my Linux DVDs or royalty money. -)
