SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-shocker-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SCO public relations director Blake Stowell today said that the company had secured permission to present the code alleged to have found its way into Linux to a closed court. Once again SCO is refusing to tell Linux users just what code they claim is infringing on their IP rights, while still threatening to sue corporations running Linux."

    This protects the court, because if the code itself became part of the court records, SCO would have to sue the court itself for violation of SCO intellectual property.

    "We find this Court to be in contempt of SCO!!!"

    I have trouble believing Blake Stowell's clams...

    Then don't listen to the man's clams. What do mollusks know about jurisprudence anyway?

    Tonight on BBC 4: Clamofibophobia -- are bivalve mollusks lying to you?

    As a public service to the /. community, let me review the relative truthfulness of various members of the animal kingdom.

    • Clams - Generally trustworthy, renowned for keeping their mouths shut. However the so-called Blake Stowell clam ("Musculius SCOlegalitus") can be deceiving, often posing as an oyster to trick its prey into thinking it contains a pearl.
    • Penguins - C'mon, it's cute. You can trust penguins.
    • Daemons - Technically not an animal, but also cute. You can trust daemons. (Warning: do not confuse daemons with demons. If it wants to rip your entrails out and place them on an altar, it's a demon. Run.)
    • Butterflies - Do not trust butterflies. Even minor changes in a butterfly's flight configuration can introduce world-wide climactic changes with destructive consequences. Butterflies have also been linked to the spread of numerous viruses.
