SCO Denied Motion To Change IBM Case Again

Rob writes "SCO Group Inc's attempt to change its legal case against IBM Corp for the third time has been denied by the judge, who has also set the two companies a deadline to present their respective evidence with specificity. Despite repeated public declarations that it has evidence Linux contains Unix code that infringes its copyright, SCO has yet to present any evidence to the court." Bad news for them all around, lately.

What!?

Since when can you not change your case multiple times over the years? And since when do they have to show evidence? Isn't SCO's word good enough? This is a travesty! There is no justice!

SCO what?

SCO's new motto:

No evidence, no customers, no future.

Welcome to the strange world of Quantum Intellectual Property Infringment. Consider yourself introduced to the McBride Uncertainty Principle, whereby you may know the exact speed at which SCO's claims are changing, or you may know the exact location of the (currently) infringing property, but you cannot determine both with any precision. The harder the courts look, the more difficult they are making it to find. The courts cannot decide without both a claim and its matching proof, so this is not the path to resolution. The court's only hope is to measure the validity of a quanta of infringement claims, and make a single decision that acts on all of them.
