Judge says Novell owns the patents and SCO has basically no claim:

Looks like it's pretty much over.

Excellent overview by Ars:

If you think it's too long, just read the conclusion. It gives a very good summary and includes a Star Wars reference--so you know it has to be good ;)

I love how the layed off SCO employees beg for their names not to be released:

Though, the concept of other Linux companies "poaching" the remaining staff gave me a chuckle.

SCO may still win if they go before a stupid jury on appeal:

ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!
Nature is bountiful where idiots are concerned

No, they arent breasts, they're personalities, because its ok to like a girl for her personalities

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man

Surprisingly, SCO appeals as the dumb@$$ judge left the option open for one:

Just think of the money that lawyers have made off this nonsense.
