Novell challenges SCO's Unix claims (CBS MarketWatch)Novell challenges SCO's Unix claims (CBS MarketWatch)Posted May 29, 2003 18:05 UTC (Thu) by FarcePest (guest, #3065)In reply to: Novell challenges SCO's Unix claims (CBS MarketWatch) by skvidal Parent article: Novell challenges SCO's Unix claims (CBS MarketWatch) I would think it would be very difficult to win a patent infringment suit against Linus, since Linux has been around for about a dozen years. Surely there's some statute of limitations for filing such as suit which has expired, and SCO can't pretend to be ignorant of Linux during that period. Of course, nobody (outside of SCO) even knows what patents would be claimed to be infringed upon anyway. Of course the whole thing is ridiculous anyway. It's far more likely that SCO is violating the GPL (iirc, they have ext2 filesystem support) and Linus' copyright.
