SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit

Posted by michael on from the your-chocolate-ration-has-been-increased dept.

yeremein writes "SCO says it has found a new smoking gun in its battle with IBM. This 'bombshell' was not found in a court document; instead it came from a reporter's interview at SCOforum. The scoop? 'SCO alleges that since 2001, AIX has contained code for which IBM does not have a license. Moreover SCO claims to have found internal IBM e-mails in which IBMers acknowledge this shortcoming.' With the announcement comes a hefty boost in SCO's stock price." SCO is also going to bundle its worthless linux licenses with its Unix operating systems.

    Didja ever get the feeling that you should give up what you're doing and become a lawyer?!? Has anyone calculated the amount of money they are making off of the train wreck that is SCO, both on the offense and on the defense? My guess is that it's larger than the GDP of a lot of countries!

    Oh well, back to the code... :)

    Shouldn't that be "... worthless linux licenses with its worthless Unix operating systems" ;-) ?
