SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 15:21 UTC (Tue) by vblum (guest, #1151) [Link] Novell's management changed often, didn't it? Wasn't McBride with Novell around when the Novell-SCO Unix deal was done?OTOH, SCO has issued so many contradictory statements in the past which, in the end, were only intended to be inflammatory, keeping the heat around their lawsuit (which, at this point, is their primary asset) going - who knows what intention to sue they really have ...
SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 15:45 UTC (Tue) by hppnq (guest, #14462) [Link] You don't think that McBride -- who was working for Novell at the time the System V rights were sold -- has been planning this far ahead, don't you?! ;-)(DR-DOS was sold around that time by Novell to Caldera, as well. Mmmh.)

Microsoft can't even think that far ahead so I doubt it.
SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 15:22 UTC (Tue) by rahvin (subscriber, #16953) [Link] What are the chances that SCO already breached the agreement by revoking IBM's license on AIX?
SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 15:25 UTC (Tue) by dkite (guest, #4577) [Link] Non compete? In operating systems? Novell has had an OS for a long time. Desktops? Novellowned desktop software a long time ago. Derek
SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 15:32 UTC (Tue) by vblum (guest, #1151) [Link] I guess SCO are implying Unix space, not OS in general. If so, one might say that Novell operated in DOS/ Windows related space. Linux, however, clearly belongs to Unix space; whether developed independently or not doesn't even matter ...I am very curious to see the exact agreement between Novell and SCO, though. SCO already misquoted their IBM contracts in an outrageous fashion.
SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 18:44 UTC (Tue) by ttrafford (guest, #15383) [Link] I think they saying this applies because "Linux is a SysV derivative."
SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 18:54 UTC (Tue) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Hey,... but havent SCO stop the Linux vending ?... so NOVEL SUSE dosent compete with SCO anymore, does it ?
