GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!

Summary Judgements just came in from SCO v. Novell.  This is the abbreviated version:

Novel owns UNIX and UnixWare copyrights, can boss SCO around, and it wants it's licensing fees from the Microsoft and Sun licenses now.

Because of SCO's financial situation, this means SCO is fucked.

GAME OVER MAN!  GAME OVER!

Unfortunately, there's still the chance of some appeals (certainty?)

Until those are exhausted, no money will change hands.

Remember, SCO in it's SEC filing said that it didn't have enough cash to go through all of a trial with Novell, let alone a trial afterwards with IBM. SCO will be bankrupt if they ever get an appeal hearing.
