On May 28, Univention GmbH obtained a preliminary injunction from the
Bremen, Germany, Regional Court. The order prohibits SCO-Caldera from
circulating:

    the idea that the Linux Operating System illegitimately acquired and
    contains the Intellectual Property of SCO UNIX and/or that the end
    users of LINUX can be made liable for patent/copyright infringements
    against SCO's intellectual Properties.

Further, the Bremen Court Order provides for a fine of up to 250,000 Euros
(around $250,000 U.S.) or jail time for every violation of the Court Order:

    each case of the offence carries a fine of up to 250,000.00 Euros, or
    as a substitute, detention of the Managing Directors (CEO) of the
    defendant could be imposed. The Order also makes SCO-Caldera liable
    for the costs of the proceedings. .

Then, on 5 June 2003, Tarent GmbH obtained a similar preliminary injunction
against SCO-Caldera from the Munich Regional Court.

Interestingly, it appears that SCO-Caldera did not fully-comply with the
Munich Court Order. So, Tarent has asked the Munich Court to take action
for what amounts to SCO's contempt of the Munich Court Order.
