Another day, another knockout punch aims at SCO

Last week saw the end of most of The SCO Group's claims of IBM contributing Unix code to Linux. Now, Novell has filed a motion that undercuts all of SCO's contract claims against IBM, based on a "silver bullet" clause in the original sale of Unix to SCO.

In its latest legal move against SCO, Novell on Dec. 1 filed for partial summary judgment against SCO in its own case. In this motion, Novell is asking the U.S. District Court to rule that the Unix APA (Asset Purchase Agreement), which sold Unix from Novell to SCO, gave Novell the right to waive SCO's contract claims.
