Story: Novell defeats SCO in Unix copyright case
It really isn't.
There's nothing in the old UNIX codebase that is of the remotest interest to Linux, BSD resolved its legal status with regards to those copyrights years ago, IBM has a perpetual and interminable licence to them...
Basically, there's nothing there to worry anyone any more. SCO was arguing that IBM had no right to add *IBM's own code* to Linux, not ancient UNIX code.
