MS Word File Reveals Changes to SCO's Plans

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-this-is-just-scary dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Ah, the joys of 'track changes' in MS Word: metadata in a document obtained by Cnet reveals some earlier plans by SCO's legal team. Among them: to sue in February (their original target date), to sue Bank of America, to 'impound ... all Linux software products in the custody or control of Defendant through the pendency of these proceedings', and to accuse in court 'Linus Torvalds and/or others' of 'inclusion into one or more distributions of Linux with the copyright management information intentionally removed.' Good stuff." Also, SCO has announced a few new licensees including Computer Associates.

    This isn't interesting, this is stupid. Everyone who's browsed a copy of "MS Office for Dummies" knows about the metadata feature.

    Thanks. Now go ahead and waste your points modding me as troll or flamebait.
