AutoZone Responds To SCO
loftis writes "Groklaw is reporting that AutoZone has responded to The SCO Group's Lawsuit. Here is a link to the Groklaw community's discussion where you can find all the filings in raw form. Here is a text copy of the filing without amendments. AutoZone has pretty much said to the court, SCO has to prove 1) they own the code, and 2) that Linux infringes. Since SCO is litigating these two issues in other cases, they ought to wait until those questions are answered. Or, they say, 'If we cannot wait, we need SCO to tell us what we are infringing upon with specificity.' Since we know how SCO will answer the second question, and the court likely will too, since they amended the filings from SCO v IBM and SCO v RedHat and SCO v Novell, it seems to me (IANAL) that they should get to wait."
Pep Boys is funding SCO with cash!
Shouldn't they just send over Jesse and the boys to do some mods on the SCO folks?
have you ever gone to autozone? they keep you waiting for years before someone finally decides to help you. i think SCO saw this one coming
So they don't trust SCO's word? What's this world coming to when a fine outfit like SCO can't be trusted?
ask me! *raised hand*
"there are trillions even quadrillions of infringing lines in linux. all your atoms comprising our lines of code are belong to us. hence you clearly and specifically infringed on SCO's rights."

After pissing off a legion of auto-philes by suing Autozone, SCO has now set their legal sights on the organizations of the NRA, the KKK, and the NY Association of the Russian Mafia for infringing on intellectual property by using Linux in their daily operations.
The module SCO is talking about is the one implemented in the AutoZone system that make sure six different colors of shifter knobs are always in stock and the simple part you need for your car never is.
You, Sir, are an Anonymous Coward! Oh...
it seems to me (IANAL) that they should get to wait.
Is it just me, or does IANAL sound like a code in the personal ads?
Three IPs for the Linux kings under the sky,
Seven for IBM in their halls of stone,
Nine for SGI doomed to die,
One for the dark Darl on his dark throne
In the land of Utah where the shadows lie.
One IP to rule them all, one IP to find them,
One IP to sue them all and in the courtrooms bind them,
In the land of Utah where the shadows lie.
(Yes, this has also been posted once on Groklaw. No, this isn't a karma whore - I'm the guy who posted it there. And no, I don't necessarily think that SGI is doomed to die, though things haven't been looking good for them lately...)
Don't fret, AutoZone, it's all safe in a briefcase in Germany...

They don't like that game.

I got -15683... but I think my counter rolled over.
This is not a sig.
i always read it as "I Anal"...
Get in the zone, Auto Zone.
"Hide the eight-ball"? I don't quite know the meaning of that in normal language, can someone elaborate on its specific legal-context meaning?
Somebody needs to make SCO give the judge back his "Magic 8-Ball" so he can a "reliable and informed" judgement on these court cases. God forbid the judge use his legal expertise and exprerience to decide these cases on merit or lack thereof.
I only look human.

well hopefully there will be an SEC investigation and Darl will be working in the license plate manufacturing industry.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
Nahh they'll never take on the NRA...... Moses would just cause a local river to rush over SCO headquarters and obliterate them. Besides having the pillar of fire appearing at all the pretrial hearings would be pretty un-nerving for Darl......
So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.
