SCO To File Appeal of Unix Copyright Ruling
In a move that was fully expected after its devastating loss in federal court
last month, SCO has asked the court to
finalize
the ruling that Novell actually owns the copyright to Unix.
A judge ruled
in August that Novell never sold SCO (which is actually the successor company
to the original Santa Cruz Operation) the copyright to Unix System V, and furthermore
that SCO owes Novell royalties on its use. Groklaw editor Pamela Jones believes
that SCO is hurrying to obtain a final ruling so it can immediately appeal that
ruling.
Will it never end? Give me your thoughts at [email protected].
