SCO says it does own Unix contract rights

NEW YORK, May 28 (Reuters) - The SCO Group Inc. (nasdaq: SCOX - news - people) on Wednesday said it owned the contract rights to the Unix operating system, dismissing a claim from Novell Inc (nasdaq: SCOX - news - people) that it had no rights to the software.

So my own linux distro compilled completely by me from the source code belongs to SCO ? no way.
:1orglaugh

well if the courts have their way you can be sure to thank the intellectual property lawyers who will most certainly be getting a $$$ cut from whatever distros you compile.

Unix is an actual os, and should not be confused with "*nix", in which one can include linux.

Also... SCO crashes a lot... It is as stable as my winblow$ 98 that I use to play games.

When novell bitchslaps you, it's time to throw in the towel.

Here is some info on the case OSI Position Paper on the SCO-vs.-IBM Complaint
