Copyright Troll Loses High-Stakes Unix Battle

A Salt Lake City jury on Tuesday ruled against SCO Group’s claim it owned the copyright to the Unix operating system, a cousin to the popular open-source OS Linux. The verdict came seven months after a federal appeals court said the bankrupt SCO group deserved a jury trial on the hotly contested issue of who owns the copyrights. After a three-week trial, the jury said Novell retained the rights to the operating system, despite a highly complex 1995 deal between SCO Group and Novell.
