SCO Asks Judge To Give Them the Unix Copyright

Raul654 writes "In March, the jury in the Novell/SCO case found that Novell owns the copyright to Unix. Now, SCO's lawyers have asked judge Ted Stewart to order Novell to turn over the Unix copyright to them. 'SCO contends the jury did not answer the specific issue before Stewart that involves a legal principle called "specific performance," under which a party can ask a court to order another party to fulfill an aspect of an agreement.'" Over at Groklaw, PJ is deep into a community project to annotate SCO's filing. It's for the benefit of future historians, but it makes amusing reading now.

    Actually we prefere to be called average American patriots who are sick and tired of being ripped off by the politicians elected to represent us. You want to support all these social causes? Good, empty your own pockets and donate to the cause. Your cause will gain far more than if some politician raises taxes with a promise to provide support. All that ever happens is taxes go up with little to no benefit being provided. You liberals keep electing people that are ripping you (and us) off, and people call us stupid? Besides, aren't the progressives the ones that keep pushing gay marriage? Seems like you guys would be the cock smokers.

    Microsoft to invest $150 million in Apple (

    Scary stuff. Microsoft spends lots of money and time on multfront attacks on Linux.

    It's pretty sad that Apple helps them out.

    Actually the tea partiers are pushing government to involve itself in social causes too, just different ones like regulating marriage. That's the Palin wing of the movement, the one that loves big government when it pushes religion and tries to turn arbitrary morals into laws.

    Here we go again.

    This guy is modded flamebait for being far less offensive than the idiots above him, and actually giving reasons for his positions. Just another example of moderator bias and hypocrisy on /. As if you mods that modded him down wouldn't respond with anger to being being slandered yourselves.

    It would have been very nice, wouldn't it, if you'd been able to opt out of paying for the expenses of the Iraq war.
