IBM Asks Court To Declare Linux Non-Infringing

A Cyclic Graph writes "We finally have a redacted version of IBM's Reply Memorandum in Support of Summary Judgment on Counterclaim 10 in SCO v. IBM. In short, IBM is asking the Court to declare that Linux doesn't infringe upon any of SCO's purported intellectual property. This document is the last word on that matter until the Court either declares there to be no doubt that Linux is free of infringement, or decides that that issue has to be decided by the jury. In their brief, IBM points out that SCO puts forth a convoluted set of non-answers referencing each other to disguise it's inability to answer IBM. Their set of cross-references is so complex that Groklaw readers graphed the claims to make what little sense of them they could."

That graph is the very image of the mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster! Seems like he will soon touch SCO people with His noodly appendage. That explains why SCO called Linux people pirates tho, seems like it was some kind of flattery, or something like that.

Look at it in a Picasso/Miro kind of a way. That's PJ, right? Definitly a female upper half. Might be Frank Zappa on one of my sleepless nights, but hey. That seemingly out of place symmetry break on the right side, that's a bust line, right? Am I reading too much into this?

Nine references deep...

*deadpans* Honestly, that doesn't mean much--Groklaw readers will graph anything.

*clicks on link*

Oh, now. See, it's only about nine references deep. (Unless you get caught in an infinite loop between documents 27 and 187.)
