Ten years now for this case, and SCO is just a ghost of its former self -- in
fact it's difficult to see what is there that is worth messing with, though it's
always been difficult to see how they ever really thought they had a case.
Well, it would be nice if the old "ghost" is quickly extinguished, but
it seems to have more lives than two cats.

Looking at SCO's motion, the formalities suggest a possible explanation for this
effort.
The motion is brought by "THE SCO GROUP, INC., by and through the Chapter
11 Trustee in Bankruptcy, Edward N. Cahn"
There are quite a group of lawyers identified as representing the movant: two
from HATCH, JAMES & DODGE, P.C. (one being Brent O. Hatch) and no fewer than
six from BOIES, SCHILLER & FLEXNER LLP (including David Boies, Robert
Silver, Stuart H. Singer, and Edward Normand).
These last four are not cheap to hire.
It seems to me that Cahn might be well aware that this whole exercise is likely
to fail, but he is going ahead anyway.
About the only asset available to the estate of which Cahn is the trustee is the
obligation of retained counsel to represent him through thick and thin -- mostly
thin, by now.
By demanding that his counsel proceed in all possible directions, Cahn is going
to be costing them a pretty penny. They might be willing to come up with real
cash to get off the hook.
As a pleasant by-product, Cahn is also costing IBM some money. (I doubt,
however, that he would bother to suggest that IBM also contribute to bring this
matter to an end.)
Just my cynical opinion.[ Reply to This | # ]

.... that IBM know that there is no hope of recovering anything except maggots
and a very bad smell from the rotting corpse of SCO, but are going to make BSF
suffer for their part in the fiaSCO by making them do yet more unpaid work,
their costs already having passed the capped limit in their deal with the
SCOundrels. If so, that may teach Boies a lesson about the need to check that
their clients really have a case before taking their money. The actions of BSF,
from the beginning, were highly unethical and resulted ultimately in the
bankrupcy of SCO. Ethical and responsible lawyers should have turned down the
case, in the interests of the client, who from the beginning could not win,
perhaps some did before BSF came along? [ Reply to This | # ]

I can only say one thing to PJ's statement (above) - Jarndyce v Jarndyce.
The difference between this actual English Court of Chancery case - the basis
for Charles Dickens 'Bleak House' novel - is that IBM actually has a case, and
TSCOG doesn't.
Popcorn, anyone?

This reminds me of the Warner Brothers cartoons of my childhood. Wile E.
Coyote was going to try and get the Roadrunner. You knew he was going
to fail from the start of the cartoon. The we question was how inventive he
would be, and how he would fail.
Good entertainment!

Are the issues, that IBM tried to quash with counterclaim 10, really settled or
could they ever rise again like the undead? In other words, could whoever owns
the Unix copyrights ever raise the issue that IBM copied their code into
Linux?

I believe all that's left ... is SCO's unfair competition claim regarding
Project Monterey and its tortious interference claim alleging that IBM
interfered with SCO's market and business relationships.
>>>
Before Chapt. 11 in September 2007, the prevailing opinion on
Groklaw was that the real case was contractual and the copyrights
laments were just fud.
Indeed, IBM released large code modules (e.g. file sytems) as GPL to
Linux and SCO couldn't stop whining about it.

To think how quaint and simple times were a decade ago, when
all we had were copyrights to worry about. Things that we
could prove the provenance of, if over time.
Now with the awful patent trolling that is going on now by the
likes of Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, Lodsys and uncountable
others. Makes me almost wish for the good old days :-D

This is very heart warming. It sends a very clear message to
anyone who wants to file frivolous allegations against IBM in
the future. And what better way than to yank the rotting SCO
carcass from the vultures, suck out their bone marrow and then
crush their bones.
The fact that David Boies will endure more financial misery is
satisfying to say the least. This case will haunt him until
the day he dies. SCO and David Boies are forever linked.[ Reply to This | # ]

Agreed. I am willing to bet there are a number of litigation happy trolls who
are unwilling to tempt fate. The precedent is there. Sue us ONLY if you are
ready to fight to the death. Then be prepared at the end to watch us grind the
your dead corpse of your company into dust.
Then again SCO was warned of their folly every day for the last 10 years...... [ Reply to This | # ]
