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!

So when SCO files Chapter 13, it won't affect the rest of us computer users, right?

Correct. If it went the other way (SCO got the copyrights) then everything that runs Linux would be in trouble -- although IBM looks like it has a strong case against SCO's "copyright" claims anyway.
