IBM Subpoenas SCO Investors, Analysts

Bigfishbowl writes "Forbes has an interesting article about IBM sending subpoenas to large SCO investors in an effort to compel discovery. An IBM spokesman says IBM is frustrated by SCO's reluctance to produce proof of its allegations. '"It is time for SCO to produce something meaningful. They have been dragging their feet and it is not clear there is any incentive for SCO to try this in court," he says.'"

Re:SCO Gives Filenames

Is there something in the US legal system that actively prevents SCO from claiming every single file in the kernel as their own?

Yeap it's called Copyright.

Just imagine what an awkward bind RMS is in about this. Back in the day, he started the whole GNU/FSF thing because of corps like IBM, and the behavior he so despised is now embodied by SCO. Meanwhile, he as to get along with a kernel that relies on GNU software and steals the show while doing it. It's a wonder we don't hear more out of him around here (hint,hint). Personally, I'd like to know what brand of antacid he uses.
