SCO Could Face Cash Crunch After Novell Trial

Unix distributor SCO Group could be facing a serious cash and asset shortage if it does not receive a favorable decision on one of the few significant issues left to be decided in its 3-1/2-year-old legal battle with Novell over the Unix operating system.

A judge earlier this month dismissed SCO's ownership claim over Unix and ruled that the OS belongs to Novell, essentially gutting a copyright lawsuit SCO filed against Novell in early 2004. In his decision, Utah federal court judge Dale Kimball said his ruling means SCO must remit to Novell a portion of fees it collected from a Unix licensing program it launched in 2003 called SCOsource.
