SCO Website Using Groklaw's Content

Posted by Zonk on from the hey-pot-you're-black dept.

darkonc writes "It looks like they didn't learn from the BSD debacle (where, having sued Berkley for copyright infringement, AT&T found that they were using BSD code without acknowledging it's source). Groklaw has an article detailing how SCO has documents created by and for Groklaw on their site -- without even acknowledging the source. It seems that the defenders of the holy IP principle have hoisted the skull and bones."

    Perhaps SCO is just testing the waters to see how far they can go before the courts (hopefully) will slap them silly.

  4. So sue them? by WarwickRyan · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or doesn't copyright apply to scanned documents and PDFs? It's arguable, as there's as much creative expression there than there is in Britney's latest coaster....

    Groklaw better sue SCO for copyright infringement, while there's still any money left.

    ...they are also claiming copyright on the "borrowed" work.

    Isn't that what they're doing with Linux, also? I expect Growlaw to recieve a take down notice anytime now.

    > [Suicide by means of a self-provided bullet to the head s]eems to be a popular method of exit at Canopy. Wonder if the insurance for Cahopy employees covers suicide.

    Only if factory loads are used.

    If you load your own powder and bullet into the brass before killing yourself, you're infringing on the intellectual property rights of ammunition manufacturers.

    Don't even get me started on who gets sued if it takes two bullets.

  8. Not quite complete at SCO by Quila · · Score: 4, Funny

    I noticed their documents relating to Daimler Chrysler aren't complete. They have quite a few, but seem to have left out the later documents showing WHEN THEY LOST.

    This company is just pathetic.

    "Yarro, who will remain on SCO board, according to SCO CEO Darl McBride, was replaced at Canopy by Bill Mustard. Mustard was believed to be taking his instructions from Ms. Kreidel."

    Ah HA! It was Mr. Mustard at Canopy with the Revolver!
