The SCO case has long since dropped off the radar for most. It is worth noting, though, that the Novell "slander of title" trial is now underway in Utah. Groklaw has detailed coverage of the testimony thus far. "Why did Novell slander SCO's title? Because of Linux. Linux started as a hobbyist tool. It's open source; 'nobody can be completely sure where the code comes from'. Starting around 2000, IBM inserted into Linux stuff that belonged to SCO. SCO sued, and started their licensing program (SCOsource). Novell stated that SCO doesn't have the copyrights and can't sue IBM."
