Groklaw Debunks SCO's ELF Heist
Xenographic writes "Following SCO's earlier claims that ELF really belonged to them, in this Groklaw article, we find enough proof to show that SCO does not and never could have owned ELF or any part of it. Moreover, it shows that their real motive in this is to desperately raise new issues to stave off IBM's motion for summary judgement on IBM's 10th counterclaim. For those who don't remember, that's the one where IBM asked for certification that their Linux activities did not violate any of SCO's copyrights, and SCO replied (with forked tongue) that the case against IBM wasn't about copyrights... Let the "Santa Claus Organization" jokes commence."
3....2....1.... BANKRUPT!
The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.
I mean we have the Chewbacka defense, is SCO modeling a new plantiff strategy, the Chewbacka complaint?
There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.
I always thought Elves were imaginary anyway...
I could have done that, I mean it's not rocke..er quantu...er..computer science.
Common sense.

So does this mean that Will Ferrell might be next on the list of "to-be-sued"? Of course, in hindsight, maybe that one should progress, given the movie that was the result.
(I know this is off-topic but I'll take the potential karma hit for the joke only a couple people might get.)
Speak truth to power.

We probably don't need to be reading what Groklaw says about it anymore now that we got the Daimler-Chrysler crap thrown out. Slashdot readers will be seeing more of that like soon enough, what with them most likely being thrown out of court rooms for the rest of summer and on into fall. Let's get on to the real reports like "SCO claims against IBM thrown out of court", "Judge rejects SCO vs Redhat arguments", and my favorite "Darl McBride beaten with gavel". Enough opinions, let's get on with watching them be summarily humiliated by old dudes in black robes.
"and SCO replied (with forked tounge)" [sic]
actually, i'm more interested in hearing the "tounge" jokes
Let the "Santa Claus Organization" jokes commence."
Darl McBride is a HO HO HO!
*ducks*
If I were you guys, I'd argue that he lives at the magnetic North Pole....
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Never attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by greed. They want you to misunderestimate them.
So, when you use nonexistent words like "misunderestimate", I should assume it's because you're greedy?
That's a dot-bomb business plan if I've ever seen one:
Note to ACs: I usually delete AC replies without reading them. If you want to talk to me, log in.
Well, the vatican de-canonized St. Nicholas, and then the Discordians adopted him.
They want you to misunderestimate them.
Dubya, is that you?
perfectly cromulent.
The ELF name isn't politically correct any longer.
Please use "Allocation Challenged File System" (ACFS).
This was in the 2.6.4 changelog. Geez.
I increasingly get the feeling that SCO are just slowly going through make menuconfig item by item and trying to claim ownership to each bit. You just wait until they reach 'Device Drivers'.
Malike Bamiyi wanted my assistance.
Your logic is craptastic.
Lasers Controlled Games!
make menuconfig?!
Holy shit! We've been using make config up until now, and it was taking us ages to figure out what all those scrappy little options were! This is gonna make my lawsuits SO much easier! Thank you!
Yours, Darl
