Two years ago, I wrote that SCO was (mostly) dead. Back in 2010, Novell won the critical ruling against SCO (once famously referred to as the ‘Smoking Crack Organization’ by Linus Torvalds), asserting the Novell and not SCO own the trademarks to Unix.
At the time Groklaw declared: Stewart Rules: Novell Wins! CASE CLOSED!
Fast forward two years, SCO is still kinda/sorta around, but not for much longer.
