Parent article: SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld)

This has nothing to do with copyrights. If there is a contract that says Novell will not compete with SCO, McBride may have a point here. The exact text of the contract is interesting, as it allowed Novell to compete SCO with their Novell system.

Sorry me. But to compete you need to have a product.
The only business left for SCO - is litigations.
Novell sells products & do support - it has IT business. SCO has no business left at all.
And since Novell doesn't fill heaps lawsuits every day - so it doesn't compete with SCO ;-)

Structly speaking - you are right.
But I hope that if this issue will ever come the court, outcome will be that SCO has no product whatsoever competing with Novell's ones ;-) Hopefully there are reasonable judges left in USA.

Sorry, no Unicorns either. I think both are mythical creatures.
