Unix Copyrights Rightfully Belong to Novell
by John Lange 13 Aug '07

It's pretty much all over but the crying.... "In a decision that may finally settle one of the most bitter legal battles surrounding software widely used in corporate data centers, a federal district court judge in Utah ruled Friday afternoon that Novell, not the SCO Group, is the rightful owner of the copyrights covering the Unix operating system." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/11/technology/11novell.html?ref=business

I know someone mentioned this at a distant past MUUG meeting; what is the command line tool that will query the attached monitor for its settings? I believe this is called DDC? I have a laptop and I'd like to have a command line tool that can detect if a second monitor is attached. Any tips? John
