SCO Amends Novell Complaint
rm69990 writes "According to Groklaw, SCO now seeks to amend their complaint against Novell. SCO says it 'seeks leave to file a Second Amended Complaint in significant part in consideration of the counterclaims that Novell asserted in its Answer and Counterclaims.' SCO now accuses Novell of infringing SCO's copyrights by distributing SUSE Linux, of breaching a non-compete clause between the two companies, and SCO is also asking for specific performance forcing Novell to turn over the Unix copyrights to SCO. So SCO is essentially admitting that Novell owns the copyrights at this point, but is saying that Novell breached the contract (that specifically excluded copyrights) by failing to transfer them to Santa Cruz."
Isn't this over by now? The last time I saw a SCO article here, it seemed that even the judge was sick of their nonsense. Is there anyone still taken in by this charade?
SCO's back in the news. I've missed my SCO fix lately. This manouver looks pretty much as dumb as the ones in the past. I give them 3 weeks before they backpedal on the new, new ammended claims.

Watch out, they have finally gone completely nuts and are going to start shooting!
Auron may be different, Cally, but on Earth it is considered ill-mannered to kill your friends while committing suicide.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
That's pretty off base, even for SCO.
I can't help it - I'm a 19D.
A Second Amendment complaint? Now they want to take my unix AND my guns!
From the complaint (via Groklaw): V. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Wherefore, Plaintiff SCO prays this Court enter judgment for SCO and against Novell:
Although I doubt God will be listening, as he's upgrading his SUSE Linux...

"So SCO is essentially admitting that Novell owns the copyrights at this point, but is saying that Novell breached the contract (that specifically excluded copyrights) by failing to transfer them to Santa Cruz."
I can see there collectively being a large amount of heads exploding after trying to make sense of that one. I'm thinking SCO has nothing to do with Santa Cruz and more to do with SChizOphrenia because they've seem to have lost touch with reality.

I know Debian has "Virtual RMS", but I think SuSE is really going weird if they implement stuff like this. Weird syslog messages from SuSE boxes:

When SCO loses, there won't be a company left to pay. Your system would make no difference to SCO.
Wait... so SCO is suing about the copyrights, which they admit are owned by Novell, and weren't even part of the deal?
We can do stuff like that?
*ahem*

It's amazing that SCO would even consider throwing away money on such a lost cause in the first place.
;-)
I suspect that SCO now realizes that it can't possibly win, and is merely trying to extend its lawsuit long enough for the public to forget they exist. If they can keep the case tied up in the courts for a few more years, they probably think that everyone will no longer care. I don't think they realize how long Slashdot holds a grudge.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to hack my CueCat.

SuSE begins with "S" just like SCO. Obviously Novell should be sued for taking it from SCO.
One ring to bind them - should probably have more fiber and less rings in their diet.
ELF again. Sheesh. How many times do we have to explain that to them?
They must not be into Dungeons & Dragons I guess.
Listen up..Elves come in a large variety of races, and each has its own nuances. They are here described in alphabetical order: Dargonesti, Dimernesti, Drow, Gray Elves, High Elves, Kagonesti, Qualinesti, Silvanesti, Valley Elves, Wild Elves, and Wood Elves.

Well, remember those zombie films where a hapless victim unloads a clip of ammunition into a walking corpse, and the corpse stumbles a bit and falls down, only to rise back up and continue pursuing said hapless victim?

Dear Sir,
I would like to protest in the strongest possibe terms about your SCO sketch. I have been a village idiot all my life and your Darl Mc Bride character is giving village idiots everywhere a bad name.
Sincerely,

The two headquarters are within 10 miles of each other (Sco in Lindon, Utah and Novell in Provo, Utah)...why don't they just meet in the middle and duel it out man to man?
Remember Buffy The Vampire Slayer? We need a cute chick with a sharp stick. No offense intended, Pamela et al.
Spelling:
Looser -> Loser (Unless you actually mean that the person who is less tight pays. I'm not sure how you would determine that.)
goy -> guy (I am assuming you don't actually mean goy, because sometimes Jewish people go to court too)
Ostralia -> Australia (While we may pronounce it "Ostralia", we actually spell it Australia)
mischife -> mischief (I love Olde Englishe too, but we do have a dictionary now)
meh
"goy -> guy (I am assuming you don't actually mean goy, because sometimes Jewish people go to court too)"
Sometimes?
