Releasing unix codeReleasing unix codePosted Aug 17, 2007 17:54 UTC (Fri) by brouhaha (subscriber, #1698)In reply to: Releasing unix code by Gady Parent article: A bad day for the SCO Group However, since SCO breached the contract (by not paying Novell the license fees collected from Sun and Microsoft), it seems very likely that Novell will eventually be able to terminate the contract and regain the ability to sell licenses (or give them away).

Releasing unix code Posted Aug 23, 2007 13:39 UTC (Thu) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link] Additionally, since Novell retained the right to waive a suit, it has ineffect the right to grant licenses, at least free ones. It can't charge (at least not directly) for licenses, but it can say that they aren't subject to suit or fees, effectively granting the license for free that it is forbidden to sell.
