If SCO is just doint this as a tit-for-tat response to the IBM subpoenas, than they are making a big mistake. IBM subpoenaed people that can help their case that SCO's lawsuit is frivilous. The people subpoenaed by IBM are investment bankers and analysts, they are by no means technical experts when it comes to Linux, Unix, OS's, Kernals, Coding methods, etc. So their opinions on the code in question are meaningless. On the other hand, the people that SCO subpoenaed are experts in the aformentioned areas. They will be able to talk rings arround SCO's lawyers and experts and make them look bad. I'm really hoping this will backfire!
