Sooo... if SCOX don't hold the _copy_rights to Unix Sys-V but only some 5% sellers commision agreement, is this case not obfuscating the non-deal with Novell??

Looks like the Court and IBM walked into a trap.

The case should be shelved pending the outcome SCO vs. Novell's sale of "unix".

(I hope I'm not feeding the trolls -- I'll risk a serious reply ;^)

Please check out this Groklaw thread wherein some people agree with you. However, there are good comments to the contrary, esp. the one which says, "I'm not sure how IBM having to deliver what they offered to deliver and no more can possibly look like a defeat." After a little reading, I agree with this person's point.
