Jury Picked and Trial Commences in SCO v. Novell UNIX Code Copyright Ownership Dispute
briefly recap, the issue of code ownership is being resolved in a slander of title lawsuit brought by SCO against Novell, which formerly owned (and claims to still own) the copyrights in the disputed code. When SCO claimed ownership of the UNIX code in its lawsuit against IBM, Novell made public statements disputing SCO's ownership, thus the claim by SCO that Novell slandered its title to the code.
