Groklaw – Court Rules: Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights! Novell has right to waive!

Groklaw – Court Rules: Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights! Novell has right to waive!
Hot off the presses: Judge Dale Kimball has issued a 102-page ruling [PDF] on the numerous summary judgment motions in SCO v. Novell. Here it is as text. Here is what matters most:

[T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights.

That’s Aaaaall, Folks! The court also ruled that “SCO is obligated to recognize Novell’s waiver of SCO’s claims against IBM and Sequent”. That’s the ball game. There are a couple of loose ends, but the big picture is, SCO lost. Oh, and it owes Novell a lot of money from the Microsoft and Sun licenses.

So glad that it’s coming to an end. Biggest waste of the court system in many years. Now let the SCO bashing begin in earnest…

Got their head deep in the sand… Looks like the reporter misunderstood what Microsoft spokepersons said. Glad to see that they are starting to work with and not against (as much anyway from the sounds of this revised article) the other kids on the block.

Looks promising. This could also be used to run farm equipment right off the waste biomass left over after harvest. I hope it scales well.

Interesting idea. Can see several modifications on the basic idea for taking the tops out of barrels and drums too. Or cutting freon tanks or other metal tanks. Cool!

Cool way to use a square piece of cloth to carry just about anything. No paper or plastic bag needed. I’m gonna download the pdf, print it out and practice these carry wrap ties on a large bandanna. Good stuff!
