SCO Slammed in Slander of Title Suit

Posted by michael on from the sweet-creamy-justice dept.

SillySlashdotName writes "Judge Kimball has stated that The SCO Group has failed to meet the requirements of the law in its complaint against Novell and has dismissed the case but gives TSG 30 days to try to meet the legal requirements. More info on groklaw." EWeek also has a story.

    We just need to make sure that SCO will keep going the other way ;-)

    Finally some sense out of our judicial system. Who would believe that...

      There is some light at the end of the tunnel

      When you in a long narrow tunnel and you start to see light at the end of it, It's usually of the approaching train.

      Or you're having a near-death experience.

      What's the difference?

    No kidding...last time SCO needed to produce a bunch of evidence, they failed ot do so or were late because they were on Christmas vacation. Now with summer and all, I suspect they'll claim that the weather is just too nice to deal with the judge's demands.

    The best aspect of this that I can gather is that is puts SCO firmly on the defensive.

    Firmly on the definsive. Is that what you call showing up with a knife to a gunfight these days?

    I just caught the end of a Darl McBride interview on the BBC. Unfortunately reception was a bit poor, but what I think he said was,
    "And I for one welcome our new Novell overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted CEO, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground SUSE caves."

    Oh, they're real little spin-meisters. Check this one out:

    "Hatch was also satisfied with Kimball's decision to have the case remain in federal court rather than remanded to state court."

    'That's a good thing because the ruling precludes Novell from using jurisdiction as a delay tactic later on should the case turn bad for Novell.'" -- Brent Hatch, cited in the Daily Herald

    You couldn't make shit like this up!

    "Oh, we're sooo happy with the ruling. This is great for us. We really wanted to get our claims dismissed. Yes sir. That was the plan all al.. LOOK A WOOKIE!!!!"

    From some article in the (not so) distant future:

    Marc Modersitzki, former public relations manager of the IBM subsidiary formerly known as SCO, said, "We're all pleased with the outcome of the case." Mr. Modersitzki is now assistant vice president of the janitorial service, toilet scrubbing division, in the IBM headquarters building. Darl McBride, former CEO of SCO, could not be reached for comment as it's not currently visiting day at the prison where he now resides as a result of of the charges filed on behalf of former SCO stockholders who seem not to be as pleased.
