The SCO-Linux controversies are a series of legal and public disputes between the software company SCO Group (SCO) and various Linux vendors and users. The SCO Group alleges that its license agreements with IBM means that source code that IBM wrote and donated to be incorporated into Linux was added in violation of SCO's contractual rights. Members of the Linux community disagree with SCO's claims; IBM, Novell and Red Hat have ongoing claims against SCO. On August 10, 2007 a federal district court judge in SCO v. Novell ruled on summary judgement that Novell, not the SCO Group, is the rightful owner of the copyrights covering the Unix operating system. The court also ruled that "SCO is obligated to recognize Novell's waiver of SCO's claims against IBM and Sequent". After the ruling Novell announced they have no interest in suing people over Unix and stated "We don't believe there is Unix in Linux".The final district court ruling, on November 20, 2008, affirmed the summary judgement, and added interest and a constructive trust. On August 24, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit partially reversed the district court judgment.
