Congratulations to LinuxTag and Novell who have both come out against SCO regarding their lawsuit against IBM. The press release and letter from Jack L. Messman, Chairman, President and CEO of Novell is worthy of framing. You really must give it a read. Novell makes it very plain that based on copyrights and other legal agreements that SCO doesn't even own what they claim was infringed upon. Way to go Mr. Messman!!!!

I suspect that IBM will join the fray soon with a formal statement and that sometime VERY soon, SCO will go find a rock to hide under.

I also predict that it will only be a matter of hours, days or weeks before Microsoft "decides" that it is not such a good idea to working towards a licensing deal with SCO... Keep your eyes open, because this is liable to be a very quiet and subdued distancing on Microsoft's part.
