[vox] Novell has Unix ownership rights, not SCO

[Brian Lavender]

What's the real reason why Elliott Associates L.P. tried to buy Novell?
Is it to continue the holding customers hostage to proprietary software
upgrade cycles now that Novell is really the copyright holder of Unix?

The users should own Novell. Perhaps we should create a fund to purchase
a majority stake. 

or

Perhaps software patents should be a thing of the past. It's like
patenting math.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
