SCO v. IBM Is Officially Reopened

Posted by timothy on from the living-dead-sequel dept.

stoilis writes "Groklaw reports that the SCO vs IBM case is officially reopened: 'The thing that makes predictions a bit murky is that there are some other motions, aside from the summary judgment motions, that were also not officially decided before SCO filed for bankruptcy that could, in SCO's perfect world, reopen certain matters. I believe they would have been denied, if the prior judge had had time to rule on them. Now? I don't know.'"

    If Bill Gates is now looking for redemption with his foundation . . . this is one disease that he should eradicate.

    And where is your company today with Linux? This will once and all end things if it goes to trial.

    That has been claimed before.

    If history is any guide this will NOT end things once and for all. Why would you even suggest such a thing in the absence of any facts indicating this?

    If you follow the money to pay the lawyers, fund discovery, and pay the enormous incidental costs, you will almost surely find that SCO, which has already declared bankruptcy, is getting outside funds, (speculation is from Microsoft), and as long as that money flows there will never be an end to this issue.
