This is _not_ a big deal.  In fact, it is already all over but the shouting.

AT&T has produced a document, written in 1985, that _clear_ says that it agrees
that _all_ software developed by others and contributed to the Unix project
remains the property of the _developer_.  Novell bought the rights from AT&T,
which included that clause.  SCO bought it from Novell.  Now SCO gets to choke
on it for a few years, but it will _never_ get what it wants now.

This is effectively over.
