SCO Files Monthly Operating Reports for June; Novell Statement

By Pamela Jones et al.

So. Do they have enough money to pay Novell? That is the question. You might want to compare this month's filings with the ones they filed last month.

Novell has issued a statement, as reported by the Daily Herald in Utah about the recent decision in the SCO v. Novell case:

"We think this is great news for Novell and for the open source community. We're very pleased this ruling reaffirms and strengthens Novell's ownership of the UNIX SVRX copyrights and vindicates Novell's continuing efforts to protect the open source community from SCO's claims," Novell said in Monday's statement.

"This ruling underlines the court's earlier decision, issued in August 2007, which found that Novell, not SCO, owns the copyrights to UNIX SVRX code, and further undermines SCO's claims against Linux users," according to the statement. "We see a pattern in the legal judgments made in this case: Decision after decision makes it clearer and clearer that SCO's legal claims against Linux have no merit."

The statement is up on Novell's site now too.
