DaimlerChrysler/SCO Case Winds Down

kuwan writes "It was previously reported that SCO moved for and was denied a stay in their case agains DaimlerChrysler. (Remember that all of SCO's claims against DaimlerChrysler were thrown out except for the issue of whether or not DaimlerChrysler made its certification in a timely manner.) The opposition and reply memos for that motion are now available and apparently SCO's motion was so weak that DaimlerChrysler is asking SCO to pay the cost of preparing their opposition memo. A nice summary of the latest maneuvers is available at scofacts.org."

  1. Nice advert by arivanov · · Score: 3, Funny

    Methinks that the Sybase "one-eyed monster whacking a luser" advert was a perfect fit for this article.

    Dunno if it is luck or the usual Slashdot editor impartial and unbiased reporting :-)

    Hopefully a few more whacks and it will be gone for good.

      Enough with the sexual innuendo already! I don't know what exactly your relation with SCO is, but I'm quite sure it's going too far =)

  4. Raise Money for SCO by Phragmen-Lindelof · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can think of one reason SCO deserves some money from us; they are providing us with a lot of entertainment and they are illustrating how not to conduct legal affairs. I believe that we should all contribute to a pool to improve the lives of (former) SCO (related) employees who are (or will be) housed in our wonderful incarceration facilities. This may need to be a large fund since I suspect that some Canapy Group employees might need some free government lodging. I think we should put PJ in charge of distributing the money; imagine Darl asking PJ for just a little money for a snickers bar.

      Was that Canopy Group or Canopic Group? A group that keeps dead people's organs in jars seems to fit better. Speaking of entertainment value, if Darl could just fill out this special organ donour card...

    In a weird sort of way, I kind of feel sorry for SCO.

    I mean geez, they're just another legit company trying to make it in this high tech industry. Won't anyone give them a break?

    Dude, 99.99999994% percent of the whole population is considered a troll on groklaw. If this defines credibility, all we are left with is PJ and a couple of paranoid, pussy whipped, virgin geeks.

    As I watched groklaw grow, I thought "man, this woman has no clue about open source", but now that it has devolved into mindless sycophantic cult worship, infighting, backstabbing and replacing emotion for rational discourse, I thought "she finally gets it."

    Good luck with all that.
