IBM Motion to Limit SCO Claims Granted

Kalak writes "IBM's motion to limit SCO's claims to those that have specific version, file and line numbers has been granted, in part. At the end of last year, SCO made 294 allegations. IBM asked for dismissal of 198 of them due to lack of this information, 1 SCO withdrew, 1 IBM withdrew from the request, and 185 of them have been dismissed from the case. This leaves 107 of the charges are left to be addressed by means other than lack of specificity (such as public domain, BSD code, who owns it, etc.) As usual, Groklaw, has discussion, as well as the Order and an excellent chart of the history of alleged violations has been created as well."

OK. Let's look at the basics. IBM is a larger company than SCO, has been in business much longer, has more $$ money $$ than SCO, and can hire better lawyers.

Guess the name of the winner? Hint: It starts with a vowel. Case closed.
