SCO Asks IBM To Make SCO's Case For It
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."
ESR is the biggest lamer.
Hopefully a gun toting gangbanger will shoot him during a botched robbery or something.
Prove the case for them? WOW! How utterly embarrasing can one company get? Those dumb wops.
When Sco will sell beowufl clusters?
Apple is monopolistic. They have a monopoly of operating systems running on Macintosh comuputer. I think you need to review your econ 101 notes.
SCO isn't saying "We don't know what code you put into Linux, so give us everything you have." If you would bother to read the document and not just the replies, you'd see that SCO is looking for the individuals responsible and trying to find out when the code was put into Linux.
The analogy is that people were exposed to toxic materials, but didn't know how. SCO's code was supposedly exposed to Linux, but they don't know how. They want IBM to find out who put the code in, and when, and then tell them. Never is any code mentioned anywhere in that particular paragraph.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
