USL vs BSDI Documents

Posted by timothy on from the shades-of-christmas-past dept.

Dibyendu Majumdar writes "Dennis Ritchie has posted some court papers from the lawsuit by USL against BSDI about UNIX intellectual property. Some of the SCO claims, such as identical comments in the code, etc. also occur in the claims made by USL. Interesting read in the context of SCO vs IBM case."

    IANAL, but is USL SOL if SCO says BFD about IBM's IP?

    Over 10 years ago? Wow! I've been asleep for more than a year? I thought it was 2003. What happened? ;)

    In this mad world, I'd not wonder much if SCO sues USL for using the same claims in their suit ...

    everything else is a rehash of old trolls, old comments, one guy searching caldera stories and cutting and pasting +5 comments, sprinkle with insight, set at 350 degrees, and bake until done. Serves 10,000.

    Welcome to Slashdot. Enjoy your stay.

    I once complained to a buddy of mine that Slashdot was nothing but interesting articles trailing thousands of gibberish comments behind them like comet tails. "It's... chaos!" I said, waving my hand at the monitor in frustration.

    He grinned and said, "The chaos is the best part!"

    Know what? He was right.

    I love you, Slashdot. Don't ever change, baby.
