Eggplant62 writes: "In his most damaging ruling yet, Judge Kimball today released his ruling in the SCO v. Novell case, saying that it is his belief that after examining the all the documentation and motion practice and after the hearings earlier this year on various summary judgment motions, the jist is: "[T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights." Of course, Groklaw is covering the story and broke the news just over a half hour prior to this submission.

There is also a ruling in SCO v IBM on summary judgment motions but the actual rulings are yet to become available. Keep your eyes peeled."

The Spamhaus Project will keep it's domain name after the judge on the case in the Northern District of Illinois on October 19th declined to issue a temporary restraining order in which e360insight.com had requested ICANN or Tucows revoke the spamhaus.org domain name, among other overbearing requests for legal sanctions against Spamhaus.
