SCO loses case against IBM on alleged source code violation

4 December 2006  |  Published in Software, Software Patents

Last Friday a Utah judge dismissed most of SCO‘s legal claims against IBM, stating that SCO failed to produce any evidence to back up its intellectual property ownership claims, according to this news bit on VNUnet. SCO claimed that IBM had included source code it owned into the Linux kernel.
Consequently, SCO shares dropped. VNUNet says SCO is now worth $26 million. When it launched its lawsuit against IBM, it was worth $400 million. Yup, when you play with fire, you end up burning your fingers.

This is a great day. Not only is Linux bringing a brand new life to my laptop, as reported earlier. I now know SCO won’t go after me.
