Incontinence: A bigger threat than malware!

June 15th, 2010

Sitting on the airplane the other day and I was bored out of my mind so I picked up the in-flight magazine (US-Air) and started thumbing through to pass the time when I found an interesting article about information security. One of the conclusions astounded me.

Decision in the SCO Group vs. Novell Jury trial

March 30th, 2010 by Ian Bruce

Today, the jury in the District Court of Utah trial between SCO Group and Novell issued a verdict.

Novell is very pleased with the jury’s decision confirming Novell’s ownership of the Unix copyrights, which SCO had asserted to own in its attack on Linux. Novell remains committed to promoting Linux, including by defending Linux on the intellectual property front.

This decision is good news for Novell, for Linux, and for the open source community.
