This is bigger than you think. By capturing the rights that SCO claimed, Novell now owns Microsoft and Sun -- who believed that their software was based on Unix so much they were willing to buy 'licenses' to protect those rights.


Now, not only does it appear that Novell actually owns those rights -- but they can now revalue the licenses to any price they wish...since SCO sold them illegally. And Microsoft and Sun will have to pay -- because they already admitted they needed those licenses to stay in busness.

Har Har Har!!!

If this is correct.... COOL! And um, shit.



If it is, then this is most comical. Kinda like a minnow taking a very large chunk out of a pair of whales. Amazing!
