SCO v. Novell

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. SCO v. Novell is a lawsuit brought by the SCO Group against Novell. In 2003 the SCO Group initiated a campaign to get Linux users to pay licence fees to SCO claiming that unspecified SCO IP had been improperly included in Linux. As part of this campaign SCO made several statements that they were the owners of Unix, probably meaning that they were the owners of the copyrights of the original AT&T source code and derivatives. Novell claimed these statements were false, and that Novell actually still owned Unix. After Novell registered the copyrights to some key Unix products, SCO filed suit against Novell, claiming slander of title.
