SCO claims that it can win a copyright fightSCO claims that it can win a copyright fightPosted May 28, 2003 17:21 UTC (Wed) by anandrajan (subscriber, #146)Parent article: Novell challenges SCO Please note that SCO is *still* claiming (after Novell's PR) that it owns the relevant copyrights. This apparently came up during the conference call today. Seen on Slashdot. Not clear about their position on patents. After reading through 499 slashdot comments on this topic---some of which featured the SCO stockholders conference call---the sense I get is that SCO thinks it will be successful via litigation in getting the relevant copyrights since all four of the original people (2 from SCO and 2 froom Novell) involved in signing the exclusive Unix distribution license that SCO got from Novell thought that the deal included copyrights. SCO has recently asked for transfer of copyrights from Novell which Novell has refused to do. At this time, both Novell and Perens are indicating that SCO just has an exclusive UNIX distribution license with Novell retaining UNIX copyrights and patents. Anand
