Judge To SCO — Quit Whining

chiark writes, "Back in June, the magistrate judge presiding over SCO vs IBM gutted SCO's claims, as discussed on Slashdot. SCO cried 'foul,' appealed to the District Judge, and today that judge has ruled against SCO, succinctly and concisely affirming every point of the original damning judgement. Also included in this ruling is the news that the Novell vs. SCO trial will go first: 'After deciding the pending dispositive motions in this case, and after deciding the dispositive motions in Novell, which should be fully briefed in May 2007, the court will set a trial date for any remaining claims in this action.' It's notable that the judge conducted the review using a more exhaustive standard than required out of an 'abundance of caution,' and still found against SCO." As Groklaw asks and answers: "What does it mean? It means SCO is toast."

    This is slashdot. Neutral does not exist with respect to linux, microsoft, and sco. Other topics may vary.

    This is your last chance to take advantage of SCO's special licensing offer of only $699 per computer. Better get those orders in before it's too late!

    . . .a more neutral/appropriate headline might make this a more reputable site.

    What, and ruin it's reputation? I don't think so.
