For once, I am really impressed with Novells corporate actions. Ripping on SCOs lifeline ought to help shut them up for a little while, anyway.
On Sept. 25, IBM took its crack at ending its case with SCO by summary judgment. Now, it’s Novell’s turn, and the company appears to be attempting to cut off SCO’s lifeline to its cash reserves.
On Sept. 29, Novell Inc. filed for “partial summary judgment as to its Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Claims for Relief for constructive trust, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and accounting, respectively” at the U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City.
These claims are not, as one might think, concerning Novell’s claims that it, and not The SCO Group Inc., still owns Unix’s copyrights. Novell has claimed that neither the APA (asset purchase agreement) of Sept. 19, 1995, which transferred Unix and UnixWare to Santa Cruz Operations, nor Amendment 2 to the APA gave SCO any copyrights to Unix….
