Earlier this month, the Linux community was saved from a major headache by as a federal court ruled that Novell, not SCO Group, owns the copyright to Unix. Which means that Novell can keep right on not suing anyone over the use of Unix or Linux and the open source community can keep doing its thing without fear of SCO suing them. Of course, there’s still that little matter of Microsoft’s claims to hold over Linux (last quote we heard the pulled out of thin air was 235 patents). But that is another legal fight for another day. Let’s just hope Microsoft doesn’t decide now is a good time to press any claims on those supposed patents. For now, rejoice Linux users, Novell is (for this month) thy savior.
