IBM Puts Pressure On SCO

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the compelled-to-discover dept.

inode_buddha writes "An article at Groklaw shows IBM's legal team dissecting the whole SCO thing professionally and thoroughly. I'm almost willing to bet the case gets dropped with extreme prejudice, especially now that Novell is getting involved. Is anyone taking bets as to when the case actually closes and how?" I suggest the MIT Technology Review add this one to their markets.

    I've been convinced for a while that it's not crack but acid. Cocaine isn't known for it's hallucinogenic properties, but Darl and his cronies are clearly hallucinating, as in:
    D.Mc: "I am the walrus."
    Lawyer1: "No way dude, I am the walrus!"
    D.Mc: "The GPL violates the Constitution."
    Lawyer2: "Dude. That is so wild."
    D.Mc: "That wall is flowing like a waterfall."

    SCO appears to have (although IANAL) a simple case that is at least arguable. I have to believe that all of the public posturing, much if not all of which is irrelevant, is intended to run the share price up so that the executives can cash out.

    Like this?

    Broughton
    And let's not forget Wilson, who according to their SEC filing, no longer owns any shares of SCOX.
