Novell: 'We're not SCO' and we won't sue (Computerworld UK)

[Posted August 16, 2007 by cook]

Computerworld UK reports on comments made by Novell spokesman Bruce Lowry after the recent SCO/IBM court ruling. "Lowry said the ruling means "the cloud has lifted over Linux." Users and distributors of the open-source OS finally can breathe a sigh of relief that they are not in violation of Unix copyrights. "We don't believe there is Unix in Linux," Lowry said. "We've been fighting that all along. It wouldn't be consistent for Novell to say, 'Oh gosh, now that this has been confirmed, we're going to suddenly take a different position' and sue companies for copyright infringement.""
