Red Hat Cornering SCO in Delaware

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the inching-forward dept.

LordNite writes "There is a great article over at Groklaw on the latest motion in the RedHat's Delaware suit. RedHat has filed for the start of discovery. Looking at the list of documents RH is requesting it looks like SCO will finally have to come clean. Naturally SCO is trying to stall. It looks like the beginning of the end of this whole mess." The faster this can get into court and be over, the better.

    The GrokLaw site has been slashdotted and is cooling off. Please check again in a few minutes or try the "old" site at Radio or the Google cache.

    Our apologies for this interruption of service, the Webmaster.

    Does anyone know of a country with no extradition treaties? Chris wants to go to the South Pacific, but as a speaker of Asian languages, I was more thinking....

    Groklaw rocks. They found the Renaissance Papers, and have all of the court docs. PJ is a goddess.

    Because SuSE can depend on the German law system to stop SCO's bogus claims, whereas RedHat have to play the nonsensical, imbecillic system you Yanks got.

    > Yes and those dumber people are speculators. It's called a bubble and it bursts when there is nobody left who is willing to continue speculating

    Sure, but the market is rising right now, so it will continue to rise for ever, right? I mean, we'll never have another of those annoying bursts, surely?
