Analysis of SCO vs. IBM

icantblvitsnotbutter writes "An excellent -- and clear! -- article over at LinuxWorld.com has a multipoint analysis of SCO's 40-page complaint (this is a brief?!). For all those IANAL's out there, here's something to sink your teeth into. On the balance, the outlook seems positive for IBM. Still, the parallel invocation of a contractural clause potentially nixing AIX lends some credence to claims that this is a just way for SCO to coerce IBM into buying them out..." Some old documents from a similar lawsuit have surfaced, and naturally ESR has his own take on the case.

    If you knew the facts of the case, you'd agree that the woman was injured by McDonalds, and she should be compensated. The coffee was way too hot, and there was nothing at all that she did to cause the accident, nor could you say that it was her stupidity, ignorance, or greed that led to the judgement in her favor.
