Jury Rules Novell Owns Open-Source Copyrights for Unix

|

In a victory for Novell, a federal grand jury has ruled that the rights to Unix do not belong to The SCO Group. Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian said Unix will remain open source. SCO, which is now bankrupt, had sued Novell, IBM and others. Novell's Ian Bruce said Novell is also committed to Linux. The decision could enhance the value of Novell.

The legal battle by Novell and The SCO Group over Unix may have reached its conclusion. On Tuesday, a federal jury said the rights to the widely used open-source operating system Relevant Products/Services do not belong to SCO.
