Scott - Are you ready to tip your cap and say uncle on this one?

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW that Novells claim for declaratory judgment is GRANTED ; that SCOs claims for specific performance and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing are DENIED. Signed by Judge Ted Stewart on 06/10/2010. (asp) (Entered: 06/10/2010)

"Based on all of the above, the Court finds that it was not the parties intent to transfer ownership of the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights to SCO. Rather, Novell purposefully retained those copyrights. The purpose for doing so was to protect its significant interest in the SVRX royalty stream, to alleviate concerns of SCO’s future financial viability, and because of the fact that SCO could not afford to purchase the entire UNIX business. The Court further finds that the copyrights are not required for SCO to exercise its rights with respect to the acquisition of UNIX and UnixWare technologies. SCO did not acquire the entire UNIX business from Novell, but only acquired the UnixWare business while Novell retained substantial rights in the UNIX business. The undisputed evidence is that SCO did not need the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights in order to operate its UnixWare product business. Further, ownership of the copyrights is not required for SCO to protect its own code. SCO did present evidence that the copyrights were required for SCO to operate its SCOsource licensing program. However, this was a business strategy
designed by SCO after the APA and its Amendments, not something that it acquired from Novell."
