    This remains to be seen, as Novell says it never transferred the copyrights
    to SCO. Novell was the previous owner to UNIX rights.

    fellow AIXers,

    as everyone already knows, SCO in a surprising turnover threatens IBM
    with lawswits for 'infringing contract restrictions' over SCO
    proprietary Unix technologies which IBM allegedly 'delivered' into the
    Linux kernel. since these technologies probably shipped with AIX 5L --
    the L stands for 'Linux integration' AFAIK -- I would like to ask you
    what you think about SCO's arguments.

    SCO says that 'permission' granted to IBM for use of that technologies
    expires friday, June 13th. do we need to care about SCO's threats?

    TIA,

    marlon - aix & linux geek
