Another nail in SCO's coffin

[thewayne]

Judge Stewart sided with a jury that issued a verdict against SCO in April, finding that Novell was the rightful owner of the UNIX SVRX copyrights. According to Judge Stewart, SCO failed to demonstrate that the jury's verdict contradicted the evidence presented in the case.

It's unlikely that the bankruptcy courts will allow SCO's charade to continue now that two judges and one jury have all concluded that SCO does not own the SVRX UNIX copyrights on which its litigation is predicated.

I'm sure SCO will try to appeal to SCOTUS, who will hopefully not bother to hear their appeal.

Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. Hopefully SCO gives up soon and lets us use our Linux machines and our Macs in peace. (Unless BSD has not ties with any Linux/UNIX code...)
