Las Vegas firm buys Unix...

[ninurta2005]

Thank you everyone who have been offering their opinion and intepretation on 
this. 

I had been following the SCO case off and on for a number of years. But based, 
on what I have 

been reading from you folks, there is more than meets the eye on this. And there 
may yet be more
repercussions regarding this purchase.
 
Thanks again,
Paul

Do we?  UnXis claims that it acquired all of SCO's assets and intellectual 
properties.  The new company claims ownership of the UNIX and UNIXWARE 
trademarks:

This is, of course, wrong.  These are owned by The Open Group.  So, what is 
really going on?  It looks to me like UnXis is gearing up for another round.

Never mind the blatant lies elsewhere in the company FAQ, like how UNIX is 
entirely closed source.
