And that presumably means that SCO's claim that Linux infringes upon Unix (copy write) code is stone dead - simply because SCO does not own Unix. Interestingly SCO does not 'own' Unix. The Unix brand is owned by The Open Group. SCO has the right to license, enhance, and distribute. They do own copyrights on their changes to Unix.
Incidentally, can SCO appeal that ruling?
They certainly can, but is it worth their while.
Also remember that there are some issues in the SCO vs. IBM case other
than copyright infringement (which Novell waived) that affect Linux.
Since this is essentially off topic, you can read the thread in the OT
list.
