SCO Loses DaimlerChrysler Lawsuit
-
SCO suffered its first major defeat Wednesday in its legal wars against Linux-using companies, when DaimlerChrysler was granted all of the important points in its motion to dismiss SCO's case.
Judge Rae Lee Chabot of Oakland County Circuit Court in Michigan all but dismissed The SCO Group Inc.'s case after a hearing, which, according to at least one eyewitness, took only about 20 minutes.
This latest ruling is likely to discourage SCO from suing other Unix licensees that failed to certify their use of the operating system. The DaimlerChrysler suit addressed different issues than those in lawsuits SCO has filed against IBM, Novell, and Linux customer AutoZone, but the impact on these other cases is still up for grabs. Regardless, there was joy in Linux-land, at least for the moment.
