SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims
nordi writes "heise.de reports (in German) that SCO Germany has to pay a fine of 10,000 Euros (~10,800 US$) because they kept on saying that Linux contains stolen intellectual property of SCO. In May a German court had decided that SCO Germany must not continue making those claims." Yes, it's auf Deutsch, so break out babelfish.
Except that the appeals court did not overturn *any* of his findings. The only thing that was overturned was his sentence.
But yes, Boies is a lousy attorney. He's your run-of-the-mill ambulance chaser with annoying TV ads, except that he's nationally-known. I submitted a story about how he's about to be barred from practicing in Florida, but it was rejected. As for his performance with Al Gore's recount fiasco, if he'd called for a uniform state-wide recount, that would have happened. And Bush would have still won (read the NY Times and AP investigations afterwards). The call for a selective recount was the fatal flaw there.
