I concur with your opinion. If Novell could not get paid from The SCO Group of the percentage (about 90%) they are entitled to of the SVRX License Payment SUN made to The SCO Group, and of the SVRX License Payment Microsoft made to The SCO Group (because, you know, The SCO Group has filled for bankruptcy), then they are probably going to action on the basis of said Licenses being void, or at least in being void the part of such Licenses that allows to Sub-license the material changing the terms of the License, or changing the License altogether. According to this hypothesis on the future, in case The SCO Group cannot find the money to pay Novell, Novell will probably try to renegotiate such Licenses directly with SUN and Microsoft. Microsoft will probably just return the material instead of paying for it (as they don't need it), but SUN is in a totally different position. SUN has now OpenSolaris, which was made possible by that License they got from The SCO Group. So SUN will renegotiate and pay Novell to legalize the SVRX License they got from The SCO Group which allowed them to "open-source" Solaris. Only after Novell gets that payment(s), either from The SCO Group or SUN, will they consider "open-sourcing" the historical SVRX and classical UNIX code. Otherwise, they could hardly monetize on it, as they currently have the opportunity to do. Regards, -- Pepe pepe(a)naleco.com
