And that presumably means that SCO's claim that Linux infringes uponWhile they can always appeal, there's no guarantee the appeal will be accepted. The onus is on them to show the judge is wrong. As for Novell or anyone else continuing with this, the first thing they have to do is show infringement. Given that SCO produced nothing in this regard, I doubt anyone else can.
Unix (copy write) code is stone dead - simply because SCO does not own Unix.
As I see it, the issue of copy write infringement per se remains moot,
and the FOSS community can not yet let down its guard. Since Novell
(owner of Unix) is not about to sue Novell (owner of SUSE) there is time
for a breather. But what happens when someone comes along and buys out
Novel, drops SUSE and starts the whole thing over again? It doesn't take
much imagination to figure out who has the financial clout and the
motivation for such a step.
Incidentally, can SCO appeal that ruling?

BTW, it's copyright, not copy write.
