IBM has taken another swing at the SCO Group's faltering attack on Linux, filing a motion seeking dismissal of SCO's contract claims.
A US federal court judge has ruled that Novell, and not the SCO Group, is the rightful owner of copyrights covering the Unix operating system (OS), a ruling that should have a major effect on a number of lawsuits, including SCO's actions again Novell, IBM and Red Hat.
Novell is seeking to undermine the SCO Group's legal claim against IBM with evidence that allegedly shows SCO purchased limited rights to the Unix operating system.
Linux adversary The SCO Group has repeated its demands for IBM to show it software code and other potential evidence, and has attacked the credibility of key IBM witnesses.
Analyst firm Gartner has recommended that customers minimise their use of Linux on important systems because of questions resulting from SCO Group's warnings about legal liability.
Businesses currently using Linux must seriously consider turfing it out, according to Kieran O'Shaughnessy, regional general manager for SCO Australia and New Zealand.
As legal battles heat up over who owns the rights to the operating system, the company that claims ownership of the Unix name says Apple is infringing its trademark.
