On-topic posters will be forced to explain, in full legalese, why "rounded
corners on a phone" is an "invention" worthy of patent
protection.

I think it's the law that radio pays 2 cents for playing a

The court record is SCO's biggest enemy.
IBM will point to the past record. Groklaw will point it out. Groklaw readers
will point it out.
Maybe SCO can motion to have the past record of the case forgotten. Let's start
fresh on a clean slate untarnished by SCO's past statements.

This is a new judge. And this is SCO. Expect quite a few of the dead and
buried claims to be excavated, redressed, and having new lipstick applied.
The main legal strategy of SCO is hoping for IBM to lose concentration in this
whack-a-claim game.
Before justice can be served, it needs to get minced and fried.[ Reply to This | # ]

Me thinks SCO is trying to befuddle the new judge over the distinction between
Santa Cruz Operations and newSCO.
I believe IBM will set this straight pretty quick.

We're now seeing something physicists predicted 50 years ago!
Sco has collapsed in on itself and is no longer in this universe. To all intents
and purposes it is gone. However when lawyers gets to close to Sco's event
horizon their intelligence is sucked in and the anti-particle of intelligence is
ejected - and we get another Sco claim![ Reply to This | # ]

Having read SCO's response a couple of times I still don't exactly know which
parts of their complaint they are willing to give up. It seems large parts of it
are merely whining about legitimate competition and not tied to any specific
acts by IBM, even some of the specific allegations seem remarkably trying to
sell SCO's customers IBM products.
It seems to me there needs to be an edited version striking exactly which words
they agree are no longer part of it.

While I'm a bit befuddled about what SCO thinks it might achieve with this and
why exactly are they pursuing this of any motive other than habit, I do think it
will be interesting and entertaining to watch the Nazgul slice and dice this one
apart.

I seem to recall (not sure, might have killed that brain cell with demon
alcohol) PJ saying she would go quietly into the night when the SCO litigation
ended. Well, this is McBride and Co. doing a payback. "We won't quit, so
you can't retire. Nyah, nyah."

There are so many laugh out loud opportunities for snarking (e.g. 'Whose billion
was it, anyway?') that I have had to hold myself back. I limit myself to stifled
hysteria and one point.
...Linux software releases, intended for
transfer of ownership to the general public.
I cannot think of any
software releases in the life of Linux and it's many distributions that has ever
been intended for transfer of ownership to the general public. Ownership must
remain with the author in order for it to be Linux.--- Regards

I see that SCO has stuck to it's tactics, trying to sneak a couple of unrelated
things into what should've been a very
simple order.
I predict that IBM
will successfully object to the last 2 paragraphs of the Order, and the court
will just cross them
out before signing the order.
The purpose of this
order is to simplify the case, by getting rid of the claims that both sides
agree are out. So SCO
is free to make the claim that "the Novell judgment
has no bearing on the following SCO claims...", but IBM is
free to
disagree. The court shouldn't rule on that here - it's not the appropriate
time, and fighting over that would
just complicate matters. That argument
should wait for the summary judgement motions, which are next. The court should
just
accept
that it's disputed, and it doesn't need to be part of the
dismissal order, so the court should cross it out.
SCO also snuck in
"Each Party to bear its own fees and costs with regard to the dismissed
claims" into the
order, without mentioning this in it's accompanying
Statement. Since IBM has conclusively won on these claims, and
SCO should've
realised that was going to happen before it filed it's lawsuit, SCO would
normally have to pay IBM's
costs. IBM might decide that's not worth fighting,
since SCO has no money to pay costs. But if IBM does decide to
fight, I
believe the court can just leave the discussion about costs to a later date,
after there's a final decision
covering the whole case. [ Reply to This | # ]

Too bad IBM never distributed Caldera / SCO Linux.
Then SCO could sue IBM over Caldera / SCO Linux!
That would be fun to watch.
