Novell to SCO Group: Drop Dead
By Frank Hayes

You might not know it from some of the coverage, but The SCO Group now appears to be facing annihilation in its lawsuits against IBM, Novell, Red Hat and Linux users AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler.

That's since last Friday, when Novell finally had to file its response to a lawsuit SCO originally filed waaaay back in January 2004. (Groklaw has copies of both SCO's amended suit against Novell and Novell's countersuit, along with a timeline of what's held things up, for those who want so see the legalese.)

If "annihilation" seems like too strong a word, understand this: If Novell gets the preliminary injunction it's asking for, SCO will no longer have any money. None. SCO would be out of business -- something IBM, Red Hat, AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler could never have made happen.

1. This is good news!

Now with the fear of being sued by SCO for UNIX infringement in the linux platform maybe more companies, governments and individuals will begin the real transition to open source. It will also encourage more research and development on the part of the linux community.

Good riddance SCO.
