Judge Slams SCO's Lack of Evidence

Posted by Zonk on from the look-before-you-leap dept.

An anonymous reader writes "News.com has reported that the federal judge overseeing the SCO Group's suit against IBM has voiced loud skepticism about SCO's case. "Viewed against the backdrop of SCO's plethora of public statements concerning IBM's and others' infringement of SCO's purported copyrights to the Unix software, it is astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence to create a disputed fact regarding whether IBM has infringed SCO's alleged copyrights through IBM's Linux activities," said U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball." Commentary available on Groklaw as well.

    A bit offtopic, but just how does one pronounce "pwned", anyway? I tend to go with the Welsh and make it "pooned" as in spoon, but maybe "poned" as in own or "pawned" as in, well, pawned, is more common?

    Unfortunately that whooshing sound you hear is SCO jumping on this statement as evidence of bias so they can get the case moved or restarted or somehow stave off their inevitable failure a bit longer.

    Actually, the wooshing sound was probably from Judge Donald Thomson's court in nearby Chicago...

  5. LOL by suezz · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    can't stop LOL - this was nothing but a pr stunt by microsoft and maybe sun - don't know yet - but would like to think it wasn't sun. I hardly remember any talk about Intellectual Property (IP) before this lawsuit - that is when microsoft's, and the yankee groups started throwing the term around and press caught wind of it and started to spread the fear. This is just how microsoft will die when their day comes - they will be sueing people left and right and won't go down without a fight. But i will probably never live to see that day - they just have too much money.
