Novell reasserts Unix copyright claim Posted Dec 22, 2003 23:25 UTC (Mon) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] Chances are that it won't be Novell that does SCO in, but IBM, and IBM'sposition is that there aren't any copyright issues with the GPL use of Linux. So Novell would probably be going against precedent that says that Linux is free of UNIX entanglements, and that trying to restrict Linux while distributing it (which they almost certainly will be, considering their recent purchases) is copyright infringement. Furthermore, there's a lot more of Novell to go after than there is of SCO, so a GPL case against Novell would probably involve lots of copyright holders looking for money. SCO is almost certain to lose the IBM countersuit, and this means that there will be established precedent for beating up anyone who tries to assert ownership of Linux.
