Keeping Today's SCO-IBM Motions Straight (Groklaw)
There has been a serious flood of motions leading up to the September 15 hearing in SCO v. IBM. Groklaw has put together a convenient list for those who are having trouble keeping the whole thing straight.
One of the more amusing recent filings is the reply memo opposing IBM's attempt to strike the declarations from SCO's non-expert witnesses. "Is SCO out of its mind? Not trying? Trying to lose elegantly? I have been debating it every which way, and my current hypothesis is that the only thing they fight hard for is delay. I think, therefore, that they don't mind losing, as long as they can preserve their opportunity to go after end users." (Log in to post comments)
Keeping Today's SCO-IBM Motions Straight (Groklaw) Posted Sep 15, 2004 16:39 UTC (Wed) by ccchips (guest, #3222) [Link] I often wonder if they're just trying to get where they can have a jury trial, and then figure out how to dupe 12 Americans, who are not familiar with our industry, into believing they are right.
Beyond their wildest dreams Posted Sep 15, 2004 18:01 UTC (Wed) by AnswerGuy (subscriber, #1256) [Link] At this point I can only imagine that getting to a jury trial is beyond TSG/SCOG's wildest dreams. It would appear that their performance in these pre-trial filings, motions, discovery and depositions has been so pathetic that they've been inviting a summary judgement. They've been begging to have their main case thrown out of court. They are on life support, an iron lung that, with every judicial delay, wheezes an extra moment's inflation into their pathetic and ultimately worthless existence. Of course their shareholders are ultimately the victims; and their board of directors and executive staff are the culprits. JimD
