[tlug] Novel trump card over SCO

[Shawn <javajunkie@example.com>]

Hey, I love Novel.  Here they are now telling SCO "to waive any purported 
right SCO may claim to require Sequent (or IBM as its successor) to treat 
Sequent Code as subject to the confidentiality obligations or use 
restrictions of Sequent's SVRX license." They have until noon, February 11.

They point out that in the April and August 1985 editions of $ echo (which 
AT&T described as its own newsletter "to reach all UNIX System V licensees 
through one defined medium") AT&T clarified it's licensing agreement and 
sought " to assure licensees that AT&T will claim no ownership in the 
software that they developed -- only the portion of the software developed 
by AT&T."

Yeah!  Sco had no case anyway but nails in the coffin...IMHO IANAL
