SAN FRANCISCO - A U.S. judge ruled Friday that software company SCO
Group did not have copyrights that are key to its claims of ownership of
technology used in Linux software.

Judge Dale Kimball of the U.S. District Court for Utah said Novell Inc,
rather than SCO, owns copyrights to the UNIX computer operating system,
which also jeopardizes a related SCO lawsuit against IBM.

IBM and Novell are both major supporters of Linux.
