A bad day for the SCO GroupA bad day for the SCO GroupPosted Aug 12, 2007 6:23 UTC (Sun) by mgb (guest, #3226)In reply to: A bad day for the SCO Group by einstein Parent article: A bad day for the SCO Group
No, using Novell to attack others. For example, what if Microsoft bought Novell - lock, stock, barrel, and Unix copyrights. Microsoft could then start another FUD campaign with multi-year bogus lawsuits.

Microsoft purchasing Novell? Posted Aug 13, 2007 13:53 UTC (Mon) by filker0 (guest, #31278) [Link] I don't think that could happen. Novell is now in the business of developing and distributing code under the GPL, including GPL3. Microsoft would have honor the obligations taken on by Novell if it were to acquire them, and that would be very much again what Microsoft sees as their own self-interest.
On the other hand, they may finance another company to buy Novell out then purchase those assets they want (if any), but I don't think that that is likely. The SCO approach has failed, so now they're attempting to undermine Linux and FOSS in general with patent FUD.
correction: "very much against", not "very much again" Posted Aug 13, 2007 13:55 UTC (Mon) by filker0 (guest, #31278) [Link] My fingers and brain are in different timezones. Sorry.
