IBM Ordered to Show More Code to SCO

Posted by michael on from the neverending-story dept.

editingwhiz writes "Bob Mims of the Salt Lake Tribune has the scoop straight from the courthouse steps: 'A federal magistrate has handed a partial victory to Utah's SCO Group, ordering computer giant IBM to turn over more of its Linux operating system-related program codes. U.S. Magistrate Brooke Wells' ruling, released just minutes after Salt Lake City's federal courthouse closed Wednesday, came in the Lindon software company's contractual suit stemming from Big Blue's alleged distribution of Linux applications purportedly tainted with SCO's proprietary Unix code.' If at all possible, SCO's going to be even more insufferable now -- it has a glimmer of hope."

    However those headless macs do look kinda nice for those of us that prefer/require small foot print computing.

    I don't think this means much, except that SCO buys themselves a little respite from the inevitable.

    That ice-berg/glacier collision has also slowed down which is bad news for some penguins.

    Got that right! (Icebergs or SCO.)
