“SCO (SCOX) could end up suffering a fatal blow to its
anti-Linux war if the United States District Court for Utah grants
Novell’s Motion to Dismiss the SCO v Novell lawsuit. In its
anti-Linux war, SCO claims that it owns the copyrights to some Unix
code that SCO alleges has been placed in the GNU-Linux operating
system. The primary thrust to Novell’s Motion to Dismiss the SCO v
Novell lawsuit is that SCO does not own any Unix copyrights.“On the other hand, refusal of the Utah Court to dismiss the SCO
v Novell lawsuit could mean that SCO does indeed have a claim to
the Unix copyrights. A decision in this lawsuit could come anytime
after SCO files its reply to Novell’s Motion to Dismiss. Or, the
trial court judge could ask the parties to file additional
documents and/or schedule the matter for oral argument–thus
delaying disposal of Novell’s Motion to Dismiss…”
