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.

"I doubt SCO will be able to prove it"

They probably dont have to prove it, just convince the court that IBM probably did it. In the end it all boils down to which side puts on the best show (as always). If you remember some of the recent lawsuit outrages (How about a nice hot cup of coffee at McDonalds?) then you wont be so confident.
