Troubled software maker SCO's chief executive has claimed the Linux operating system includes Unix source code, during a court case in which Novell is suing SCO for royalties on Unix.
Novell has anounced a pre-built "starter" system for Suse Linux Enterprise Server, which will eliminate the complicated procedure normally required to get Linux going on a mainframe, the company claims.
Novell's decision to acquire Suse back in 2003 was a smart move for a struggling company.
In a US Securities and Exchange Commission submission, Novell said it was concerned that Microsoft could stop selling SUSE Linux coupons if the General Public License version 3 remained in its current form.
Three and a half years after launching a high-profile legal attack on Linux, The SCO Group has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The longtime rivals make nice with a plan to help businesses use the open-source operating system along with Windows. Red Hat, meanwhile, moved quickly to pour cold water on the partnership.
Several organisations argue that SCO's shipment of a Linux product undermines its current attack on the operating system's intellectual-property underpinnings, but SCO says the argument is baseless.
Two flaws in open-source cryptography app could allow an attacker to add content to a digitally signed message or forge signatures.
