After what seems like an eternity, someone is finally putting the smack-down on SCO.

On Friday, Novell Inc. filed its Answer in the U.S. District Court in Utah to The SCO Group Inc.‘s claims that it, and not Novell, owned Unix’s copyrights. Novell also filed counterclaims asking the court to force SCO to turn over its Unix licenses royalties to it and to attach SCO’s assets to ensure that it can pay Novell.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the SCO vs. Linux soap opera, there’s a pretty good summary called There’s No Business Like SCO Business on the site IT-Analysis.com. That article also has some interesting tidbits pertaining to the automobile accident in which Princess Diana of Wales and Dodi Fayed were killed.

The usual suspects on this one are, the British Royal Family (of course), MI6 (naturally), arms manufacturers (remember all those anti landmine activities of Princess Di?) and the CIA, which foolishly revealed that it must have been involved by denying that it had anything to do with it (it really did – can you believe that?). Of course there are unusual suspects too – these include the Cult of Diana (a hang over from Roman times given new life by Diana’s death), the Jews (maybe they qualify as usual suspects, but on this one, I personally think it’s a little North-By-South-East) and black magicians, who as we all know, are wont to arrange ritualistic car crashes in Parisian underpasses.
