As mentioned in GNHLUG, SCO holds some of the patents and copyrights since they own most of AT&T's Unix. The Unix brand was sold to The Open Group. Certainly SCO either is licensed by The Open Group to use the Unix brand, or by virtue of owning what's left of USL, they have a perpetual license. But it is not the license of the brand that is the issue. They own the Unix code and the associated patents and copyrights. That's where the value is. Personally, I think that this whole process is going to hurt SCO/Caldera in the long run. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
