Groklaw has the details, but Judge Kimball has ruled in SCO versus Novell that:
[T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights.
Additionally he has ruled that:
SCO is obligated to recognize Novell’s waiver of SCO’s claims against IBM and Sequent
There is now a text version of the judgement.
It’s wonderful news! Inevitable, I’d like to think.. but it’s nice to have it resolved.
It’s certainly looking pretty terminal for SCO now, especially the fact that they’re going to owe Novell for the deals they did with Microsoft and Sun that they didn’t pay the required dues on.
There’s an amusing comment over on the Yahoo Finance SCOX board too that’s worth a read if you’re au fait with the parties involved.. 🙂
