SCO Statement on Novell's Recent Actions
Wednesday May 28, 10:15 am ET
LINDON, Utah, May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The following statement is
being issued by SCO (Nasdaq: SCOX - News):
SCO owns the contract rights to the UNIX® operating system. SCO has the
contractual right to prevent improper donations of UNIX code, methods or
concepts into Linux by any UNIX vendor.
Copyrights and patents are protection against strangers. Contracts are what
you use against parties you have relationships with. From a legal
standpoint, contracts end up being far stronger than anything you could do
with copyrights.
SCO's lawsuit against IBM does not involve patents or copyrights. SCO's
complaint specifically alleges breach of contract, and SCO intends to
protect and enforce all of the contracts that the company has with more than
6,000 licensees.
We formed SCOsource in January 2003 to enforce our UNIX rights and we intend
to aggressively continue in this successful path of operation.
