The SCO Group won two and lost two in its Unix-related lawsuits against IBM and Novell, with a federal judge issuing rulings that, among other things, granted SCO's request to delay the IBM trial.

Lawsuits between two members of the SCO Group board and their former employer, The Canopy Group, have been settled, clearing some uncertainty from SCO's cloudy future.
