IBM Adds SCO Counterclaim Charging Copyright Infringement

Posted by michael on from the both-barrels dept.

linuxjack55 writes "According to Yahoo! Finance, IBM has filed yet another counterclaim against SCO, this time claiming that SCO 'infringed IBM's copyrights by distributing IBM's contributions to Linux after SCO had violated its Linux license by claiming a copyright on parts of Linux.' Like it or not, it looks like the GPL is going to get a full vetting in this case. It is, however, nice to know that IBM's fire-breathing legion of IP lawyers is on the side of the GPL."

    That's copyright infringement.

    And we know how much regard people here have for copyright law now, don't we ?
