SCO now owes Novell $2.55m -
When the SCO group began its legal battle against Linux vendors in 2003 it was hoping to receive a lot of money from the likes of IBM and Novell for alleged Unix code infringements. Instead, the exact opposite has happened, Computerworld reports. This week SCO was ordered by the US courts to pay $2.55 million to Novell for collecting Unix licensing revenue from Sun Microsystems that it wasn’t entitled to. In a 43-page decision, which was posted on the Groklaw.com website, district court judge Dale A. Kimball in Salt Lake City ruled that the money was owed to Novell under an arrangement made by SCO’s predecessor, the former Santa Cruz Operation, which later was bought by Caldera International and became The SCO Group.
