IBM Files for Partial Summary Judgement vs SCO
Armchair Dissident writes "The Register is reporting that IBM has filed for partial summary judgement against SCO. Groklaw also has the story, and is saying that SCO was still offering the disputed code for download as recently as August 4 2004. If this is true, then - according to Groklaw - SCO's case must surely be scuppered. Again."
Pay your $699 fee, and shut up!
Maybe they could offer a $50/year licensing fee to other open source companies that use their patents and a fee of one BAZILLION dollars to SCO to use their patents.

In other words you're glad they're getting slapped like the bitches they are?
Word. Sue IBM? Bad idea. But if you do it, you best make sure you've got your shit together.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.

"We didn't do it. Even if we did, these guys said we could, but we didn't. And even if we did, which we didn't, not only did these guys say we could (but we didn't), but these nobks did the same thing, so we should be allowed to do it. Which we didn't."
Official GOD FAQ.
Against SCO for making us with mod points have to dig through yet another SCO discussion.

"how do we know they didn't just copy some random code which did exist in the kernel?"
I guess we'll just have to take their word for it.
I hope IBM follow this up with a request that SCO have to pay legal costs. 100 pages at rate even Tony Soprano would be ashamed at extorting ... erm charging ... should push SCO into chapter 11
Sounds like a question for a slashpoll
It also happens to be the Puzzle Pirates filter replacement for the word fucked

I just gone and bought a license from SCO as well... and now you say they don't have a leg to stand on?

For sale, hardly used, SCO unix licenses.
You beat their ass good big blue! I don't want thier own mothers to recognise them!
SCO shows that everyone can hate you, and you can still try and make money. At least Microsoft stole thier crap from someone fair and square.

I've been wondering why they haven't taken down the code from their servers. It just occurred to me that they may not have anyone in their company left who knows *how* to.

Q: Why doesn't IBM just buy out SCO for a cool 64M?
A: They're probably getting more than 64M in free publicity from those jerks.
Ha! Yeah, Microsoft alone has 120%. Won't they be pissed?!
With what? Stock options?

Well, if you're on x86, it starts at 0x100000, but is then re-mapped to PAGE_OFFSET+0x100000 if paging is turned on.
Hope this helps.

Sorry to say this, but IBM is going down...
Yes they are! They are going down HARD on Sco. When they get up, they will brush SCO off their knees and do what they do.

Don't be a fool, EVERYONE at SCO knows how to take it down:
TO:sco.com web server
FROM: SCO Legal
RE: Linux Download availability
It has come to our attention that you are offering Linux source code for download. This is a direct infringement of SCOs valuable IP portfolio. SCO (caldera) has worked hard to get credit for other peoples work, you are diminishing it. You are hereby ordered to CEASE AND DESIST.
Any lawyer can do that!
Jesus H Christ. Now Groklaw has fanboys too.
I sent an offer of $699, but as yet I have no response. I think it's quite generous, I can't imagine what's keeping them.

IBM is fighting this the only way it can be faught.
SCOX has been playing a shell game of issues and evidence.
when ever IBM has asked to define the issues or evidence SCOX has moved to the
next wallnutshell.
what IBM has done is to say to the Court, OK, but they can't go back to that
later. one PSJ is bad enough for SCOX, but when they start adding up SCOX
starts to run out of wallnuts to use for misdirection. before long they will be
sitting at a table with all their nuts smashed.
Thank you for pointing out the blatently obvious.
(and also for being a gigantic douchebag)
Sure. Judges have to wipe their asses, too.

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
or does anyone else think SCO should go back to their orignal name of Caldera, since that is Greek for "big hole in the ground" ?
