Re: [TUHS] SCO vs. IBM: NOVELL steps up to the plate

Press Release Novell Challenges SCO Position, Reiterates Support for Linux PROVO, Utah � May 28, 2003 � Defending its interests in developing services to operate on the Linux platform, Novell today issued a dual challenge to The SCO Group over its recent statements regarding its UNIX ownership and potential intellectual property rights claims over Linux. First, Novell challenged SCO's assertion that it owns the copyrights and patents to UNIX System V, pointing out that the asset purchase agreement entered into between Novell and SCO in 1995 did not transfer these rights to SCO. Second, Novell sought from SCO facts to back up its assertion that certain UNIX System V code has been copied into Linux. Novell communicated these concerns to SCO via a letter (text below) from Novell� Chairman and CEO Jack Messman in response to SCO making these claims. more: http://www.novell.com/news/press/archive/2003/05/pr03033.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
