Novell Files Its Appeal Brief in SCO v. Novell - Updated as text
Here it is, Novell's appeal brief in SCO v. Novell. It's responsive to SCO's earlier filing, which you can find in our permanent Novell Appeals page.
Novell's fundamental argument is that SCO was given its jury trial, and now it wants to retry the case all over again to the appeals court. That is what it is not allowed to do:
SCO now seeks to undo the factual findings of the jury and judge. Throughout its brief, SCO makes arguments based on its version of events-a version that would require that factual findings below be ignored or reversed. But SCO is not entitled to re-try its case in this Court. Instead, SCO must demonstrate the jury's verdict and the district court's factual findings were unreasonable and unsupported by the evidence. That SCO utterly fails to do. To the contrary, the findings below were consistent with the evidence, and thus should not be disturbed on appeal.
We'll work on getting a text version for you soon, but this will get you started.

mozroots

Mono(MozRoots)															    Mono(MozRoots)

NAME

       mozroots - Download and import trusted root certificates from Mozilla's LXR into Mono's certificate store

SYNOPSIS

       mozroots [--import [--machine] [--sync | --ask | --ask-add | --ask-remove]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program downloads the trusted root certificates from the Mozilla LXR web site into the Mono certificate store.

       Mono  by  default  does	not ship with any default certificates and allows the user to pick its trusted certificates.  The mozroots command
       will bring the Mozilla certificates into your local machine.

OPTIONS

       --import
	      Import the certificates into the trust store.

       --sync Synchronize (add/remove) the trust store with the certificates.  Synchronize is useful for new Mono installations (no roots) and for
	      automated updates (no user confirmation for addition or removal).

       --ask  Always  confirm before adding or removing trusted certificates.  Note: The initial import will likely add about 100 new trusted root
	      certificates into your store. You'll have to answer yes to every one of them if this option is specified.

       --ask-add
	      Always confirm before adding a new trusted certificate.  Note: The initial import will likely add about 100 new  trusted	root  cer-
	      tificates into your store. You'll have to answer yes to every one of them if this option is specified.

       --ask-remove
	      Always confirm before removing an existing trusted certificate.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

       --url url
	      Specify  an  alternative URL for downloading the trusted certificates (LXR source format). This should only be useful for testing or
	      if the Mozilla's LXR web site address is changed. It can also be used to cache a	local  copy  of  the  LXR  file  into  your  local
	      intranet.

       --file name
	      Do not download from LXR but use the specified file. This is useful if many computers have to download the same file from the Inter-
	      net.  This way you can keep a local copy on a file server (and minimize network traffic).

       --pkcs7 name
	      Export the certificates into a PKCS#7 file. This is useful for debugging purpose or for re-importing the same list into other  soft-
	      ware.

       --machine
	      Import  the  certificate	in  the  machine trust store. The default is to import all trusted root certificates into the current user
	      store.

       --quiet
	      Limit console output to errors and confirmations messages. This is useful when scripting.

EXAMPLES

       After the initial Mono installation you'll have no trusted roots certificates pre-installed.  Neither will you have some root test certifi-
       cates  installed  (your	own  or the ones provided by using setreg ). In this case the simplest thing to do, if you want to trust all those
       certificates, is to import and synchronize.
	    $ mozroots --import --sync
	    Mozilla Roots Importer - version 1.1.9.0
	    Download and import trusted root certificates from Mozilla's LXR.
	    Copyright 2002, 2003 Motus Technologies. Copyright 2004-2005 Novell. BSD licensed.

	    Downloading from 'http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt'...
	    Importing certificates into user store...
	    93 new root certificates were added to your trust store.
	    Import process completed.

       If you created some test certificates (e.g. for using SSL/TLS with XSP) and/or if your enterprise requires some	additional  root  certifi-
       cates  (e.g.  intranet)	then  you  may	want to skip the removal part of the process. You can do this by asking for a removal confirmation
       (--ask-remove option) and answer no when prompted.
	    $ mozroots --import --ask-remove
	    Mozilla Roots Importer - version 1.1.9.0
	    Download and import trusted root certificates from Mozilla's LXR.

	    Importing certificates into user store...
	    93 new root certificates were added to your trust store.
	    2 previously trusted certificates were not part of the update.

	    Are you sure you want to remove this certificate ? no

       You can still use the synchronize option (--sync) if you have activated
       the default test roots certificate on your system. They will be removed
       at the end of the synchronization process but you can quickly add them
       back with the
       setreg
       tool.
	    $ setreg 1 true

       Another option to ease updates is to synchronize your machine trust store (using the --machine option) and keep your customized (test) cer-
       tificates  in  your  personal store (or vice versa). Note that every user on this computer will be trusting all the newly imported certifi-
       cates.
	    $ mozroots --import --machine --sync
	    Mozilla Roots Importer - version 1.1.9.0
	    Download and import trusted root certificates from Mozilla's LXR.

	    Importing certificates into user store...
	    94 new root certificates were added to your trust store.
	    Import process completed.

       Once the initial import is complete the number of changes (additions or removals) is generally very low. In this case  it  makes  sense	to
       know about any changes (i.e. ask for confirmation). No confirmation will be required if no changes are made to your trust store.
