Appeals Court Rules: SCO v. IBM Case Can Continue (arstechnica.com)
Long-time Slashdot reader Freshly Exhumed quotes Ars Technica:
A federal appeals court has now partially ruled in favor of the SCO Group, breathing new life into a lawsuit and a company (now bankrupt and nearly dead) that has been suing IBM for nearly 15 years.
Last year, U.S. District Judge David Nuffer had ruled against SCO (whose original name was Santa Cruz Operation) in two summary judgment orders, and the court refused to allow SCO to amend its initial complaint against IBM. SCO soon appealed. On Monday, the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals found that SCO's claims of misappropriation could go forward while also upholding Judge Nuffer's other two orders.
Here's Slashdot's first story about the trial more than 14 years ago, and a nice timeline from 2012 of the next nine years of legal drama.

My first thought this was one of the randomly generated Slashdot stories from last week from, say, 2006.
Have you ever noticed that Steve Ballmer and Harvey Weinstein never appear in the same room together? Conincidence? Or are they really the same person? Figure it out, Sherlock. Same MO. Same haircut. Same gut. Same perversions. They are the same, the very same.
