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."
Clearly the fool, what a stupid question. There are many potential reasons for following a fool almost none of them would imply that the follower was himself a fool.
For example you could be following the fool to check his foolish behaviour and stop him getting into trouble, you could be an anthropologist studying him, you could be a thief intending to rob him, you could be following him to laugh at the foolish things he says and does or you could simply happen to be heading in the same direction and happen to be walking behind him.
If Obi Wan Kenobi meant to say "Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fool who does everything the first fool says without question and embelishes the original foolish instructions with even more foolish additions of his own" then that's what he should have said.
