After Caldera.com's Robots.txt is Removed, Some Evidence Surfaces

By Pamela Jones et al.

Now that SCO has sold off the caldera.com domain name, their previous robots.txt file no longer blocks access to the legacy Caldera web pages on Internet Archive. And what has popped up?

Some evidence that I believe proves that the SCOsource licensing program in 2004 was a right to use SVRX code, which would make it code SCO has to pay royalties received to Novell and which it must ask Novell's permission to license under the terms of the APA. That is not what SCOfolk testified to at the bench trial in 2008, where they presented the SCOsource license as protection from litigation or in one case as shared libraries. So this is a new piece of evidence to add to the pile that indeed at least some of the SCOsource licenses were right to use licenses for SVRX code.
