SCO Relies On IBM-donated Servers With Groklaw

Posted by Zonk on from the come-together-right-now dept.

Technician writes "It appears that SCO and Groklaw have the exact same tie to IBM: the ibiblio service. 'An eagle-eyed Groklaw ninja, sk43, has spotted an ftp site where you can get binary copies of Linux libraries needed by SCO's OpenServer and UnixWare customers who use lxrun. But you can't get the source code from that sco.com ftp site. SCO directs their customers to .... sunsite.unc.edu. Why bless my stars, sunsite.unc.edu is the old name for what is now ibiblio!'"

      Mixing metaphors reaps you the most bang for your buck. You dont want to rock the waters.

    Anyone else getting that old-junior-high-school drama vibe?


    Did you hear about Becky? She's been with Dave.
    Dave! But Dave's been seeing Sarah.
    Dude that's my sister.
    Well she's hot.
    Shut up.


    Cue the collective sigh from the rest of /.

  5. SCO will now sue themselves by MSRedfox · · Score: 3, Funny

    SCO will add themselves to the list of people being sued. They will then quickly settle with themselves thus proving that being hoisted on ibiblio is admission of guilt. It's the ultimate Catch-SCO-22.

      Well, the whole suit was just a means of controlling their stock price, so sueing themselves seems like the next logical step.

      Evidently, the key to understanding recursion is to begin by understanding recursion. The rest is easy.

    It now proves IBM is also behind SCO and this whole trial is nothing but a PR tool so IBM can sell more AIX and zOS licenses.

    Oh.. Wait...
