SCO Ordered to Produce Evidence

Posted by michael on Friday December 5, 2003 @08:54AM from the put-up...no,-just-shut-up dept.

harmless_mammal and others wrote in with news from the SCO-IBM hearing in Utah today - apparently the judge has ordered SCO to respond to IBM's discovery requests within 30 days. IBM is asking SCO to tell IBM precisely what code it is alleging is infringing, and to date SCO has failed to show any evidence whatsoever. Some reports from the hearing are at Groklaw, which is already slow under the load. If SCO continues to fail to produce the evidence they've claimed they have, the judge will likely be very displeased, perhaps dismissing the lawsuit entirely.

"..happily, SCO can't dismiss IBM's countersuit. They're beyond the point of backing out unscathed by this..."

Happily? You're not worried about them being forced into a corner where they have to fight really really hard? Remember, something sparked this case. As long as that something is there, then there is a chance (perhaps minimal) they can win.

Happily indeed.
