Since the SCO Sun contract from 2003 could not be voided OpenSolaris was allowed to be released.
Novell has not appealed or tried to pursue Sun for licensing and it has been close to an year now.
Like I said you have no more FUD left. Stop trying.
Wow still trying! Again you DON'T read! SCO's case has not been thrown any place.
"The decision, which is appeallable, granted Novell the 2.5 million dollar award specified due to the 2003 Sun Agreement's modification of the 1994 confidentiality provisions. These modifications permitted the release of OpenSolaris."
SCO has appealed and Novell has received NO money to date as SCO is in bankruptcy!

Still all up in the air dude. The only reason Sun was able to release Open Solaris was because the 2.5 million dollars that was supposed to be paid to Novell was to indemnify Sun. But SCO doesn't have that money!
Sun can afford to pay that money, but Novell can still sue Sun for more if they choose due to SCO going out of business due to their bankruptcy!
