SCO Asks IBM To Make SCO's Case For It

Posted by timothy on from the it's-just-simpler-that-way dept.

acousticiris writes "According to an analysis of Friday's memorandum from SCO on Groklaw: 'If I had to characterize it in a brief sentence or two, the sentence would be that SCO tells the court, "How are we supposed to know what code IBM misappropriated? It's up to them to prove our case for us."...' It's also interesting to note that in Friday's memorandum, footnote 4, SCO uses Eric Raymond's Jargon File entry for FUD to take pot shots at IBM (footnote 4). Evidently, Eric was not pleased, according to the updated entry."

    In a desperate attempt to prevent interested parties from reading their crap, SCO has apparently taken it upon themselves to slashdot Groklaw. Impressive.

    If we can't read it we have to believe them!

  2. Amazing by finkployd · · Score: 5, Funny

    SCO files a court document which includes (to provide support for their claim) a link to a web page controlled by someone they KNOW to hate them?

    "Your Honor, we demand he change it back. We ummm didn't know website text can be changed"

    The mind boggles...
