SCO Amends Novell Complaint

Posted by Zonk on from the new-chapter-old-story dept.

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."

    How are they still getting away with this idiocy? If I was the judge I would throw those responsible in jail, and if any lawyer would bring the case up again(in court) I would throw them in jail. This is just shear stupidity.

    Out of the corner of my eye that looked like they were filing a "Second Amendment Complaint" and I was like "huh?"
