Please say it's over

So the court says Novell owns Unix. That would certainly seem to take the wind out of SCO's case, though of course they still say "the case has not yet been fully vetted by the legal system and we will continue to explore our options with respect to how we move forward from here." Well, sure, they also said a lot more.

Okey-dokey. I'm pretty sure I asked this question before: how dumb do you have to be to think you bought something you didn't? The judge didn't answer that question, unfortunately. The article I referenced above suggests that SCO might now sue the lawyers that crafted that, umm, purchase for them. I'm sure Linux users don't care (who likes lawyers anyway, right?).

So please, please, please, let's hope that's the last we here from SCO threatening Linux. We have enough problems with Microsoft. Ooops..Daryl McBride doesn't seem to agree.

So we have to put up with this longer? Oh boy..

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
