SCO Dealt Legal Setback
By Peter Galli

The SCO Group was dealt a legal blow Friday in its attempts to enforce what
it sees as violations of its Unix intellectual property rights when a
German court granted a preliminary injunction against the company.

Joe Eckert, spokesman for SuSE Linux A.G., said the court has ordered SCO
to stop claiming that the Linux operating system is an illegal derivative
of Unix. "If SCO ignores the court's order, it faces a fine of up to
250,000 euro," he said.

This legal setback came as SCO on Friday came out swinging against Novell
and other critics of its claims that it owns the rights to the Unix
operating system, threatening potential legal action against Novell going
forward.
