Sun was quick to deny published reports today that it plans to open source Java in the next few months. The company is working on the project, but any transition to open source is closer to a year away. Simon Phipps, chief open-source officer for Sun, made a comment he said was misconstrued at the Open Source Business Conference in London earlier this week concerning Sun's efforts to release Java as an entirely open source project.

Even if they were going to release a new version of Caldera they of course would not have to sue themselves. They say they own the rights so it wouldn't matter if they released a Linux-based operating system. They don't mind anybody using Linux as long as the people who use it pay SCO

Apparently SCO is planning on re-releasing a new version of Caldera.
Does that mean they will have to sue themselves?
