Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code

Posted by simoniker on from the put-up-or-etc dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A NewsForge story [part of OSDN, like Slashdot] says a court ruling by Judge Brooke C. Wells in the SCO Group vs. IBM intellectual property lawsuit amounting to 'show me the code' was released today in the form of a nine-page document [PDF link]. For a change, the SCO Group had no comment, because Judge Wells told it not to issue any. The judge said SCO is to provide and identify all specific lines of code IBM is alleged to have contributed to Linux from either AIX or Dynix, provide and identify all specific lines of code from Unix System V from which IBM's contributions from AIX or Dynix are alleged to be derived, and provide and identify all lines of code in Linux that it claims rights to."

    The fool is a fool, they should know that there is not enough float in this stock to sell short. Lots of folks been looking for stock in this dead horse to seel short for months. I thought those guys at MF were smarter than that. Selling short a stock that may be worthless in a few months is risky. Someway or another you have to cover the amount you took as a risk, with either the stock (worthless) or the cash. I don't think there are options on SCO stock, where you can just buy/sell the rights on the stock.
