What Goes to Trial?

I've had a chance now to think a bit on what's left after the court's ruling Friday. SCO's statement yesterday seems to indicate that they are looking at what they can do next, so I'm doing the same. I'm seeing some new FUD in response to the judge's ruling in SCO v. Novell, so let me explain a few things, using Paul McDougall's article in Information Week, "Novell's Victory Over SCO Could Have Downside For Linux Users", as a template. The most important thing to understand is that both Novell and IBM will go to trial insofar as this ruling is concerned.
