Novell Objects to SCO's Motion for Judgment on Pleadings on Novell's Claims for $$

By Pamela Jones et al.

New filings in SCO v. Novell, with Novell opposing SCO's latest motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on Novell's Claims for Money or Declaratory Relief:

04/07/2008 - 509 - MEMORANDUM in Opposition to SCO's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on Novell's Claims for Money or Claim for Declaratory Relief filed by Defendant Novell, Inc.. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit B)(Sneddon, Heather) (Entered: 04/07/2008)

04/07/2008 - 510 - DECLARATION of David E. Melaugh re 509 Memorandum in Opposition to Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on Novell's Claims for Money or Claim for Declaratory Relief filed by Novell, Inc.. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1, # 2 Exhibit 2, # 3 Exhibit 3)(Sneddon, Heather) (Entered: 04/07/2008)

Just reading the Introduction tells you that SCO is, once again, asking for unusual relief, which Novell strongly argues it can find no case law to support. What SCO wants is to keep the SCOsource money; but unless either the facts or the law support its position, it is hard to see how it can. Novell uses an illustration, about a guy selling someone else's car without the owner's permission.
