The convoluted case of SCO v. Novell dealt a heady blow to the SCO Group Wednesday, with United States District Judge Dale Kimball ordering the company to pay $2.5 million to Novell for improperly claiming, and collecting royalties for, the Unix operating system.

I know this is a weird question, but does anyone know how this handles when Caldera "released" the source to Unix 32v?
It's kind of important in the BSD world.... Not that anyone really runs 32v (well you can, thanks to simh & it's 11/780 emulator) but more so with 4BSD......
When they gave 32v away, it basically ended the old AT&T vs BSDi/BSD legal wars.....
Now I wonder if all that old code is now questionable? And if they can finally open AT&T SYSVr4, or is Solaris 10 as close as you are going to get to that...
