No Business Like SCO Business

The SCO must go on. Informationweek has a roundup. News.com has some analysis of the legal case. SCO reiterates their threat to revoke IBM's license. Reader hobsonchoice sends a blurb: "Also more from analysts who saw SCO/Linux code comparisons under NDA. Bill Claybrook, of Aberdeen Group Inc., says SCO changed their story to him about whether they had any "direct evidence" that IBM copied any System V code into Linux. Laura Didio of Yankee Group has answered some detailed questions about her code review process. Lastly Fujitsu Siemens have joined in the debate: they don't think SCO's case is going anywhere." One observer of the SCO case has compiled some notes about Caldera's active participation in the IA-64 project. And look on the bright side: if you follow the school of thought that all publicity is good publicity, at least this suit has gotten Linux mentioned in many places where it normally wouldn't be.

Don't have much time at the moment, but in case nobody has posted these yet:

NOTE: German Language

A German developer (who says that he didn't sign their NDA!) reports on SCO's "evidence". He says that he's seen 46 pages (not just 80 lines) but doesn't seem convinced.

In another article, Claybrook gives more details of how the story changed, and also remarks on some rather odd things about SCO's "evidence".
