The Tables Are Turned - SCO Objects to IBM's Discovery Demands (Groklaw)
As seen on Groklaw, the latest episode in the SCO drama has SCO complaining that IBM's discovery demands are excessive. "And we now have the hilarious opportunity to watch SCO tell the court how burdensome it would be for SCO to have to produce to IBM every product Caldera distributed for the past 6 years. These are the same folks who whined until they got not only every released version of AIX and Dynix going back to the '80s but every *unreleased* one also, in their own discovery demands."

The Tables Are Turned - SCO Objects to IBM's Discovery Demands (Groklaw) Posted Jan 26, 2005 17:23 UTC (Wed) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] I must be missing something, because I thought that the current status of the case was that SCO was claiming breach of contract and IBM was claiming that they hadn't violated any copyrights with their Linux activities, due to owning all the code they contributed. Is IBM still claiming that SCO effectively licensed IBM's code back to it by distributing it when it was licensed to them under the GPL? Otherwise, how are SCO's past activities as a software company relevant to anything?
The Tables Are Turned - SCO Objects to IBM's Discovery Demands (Groklaw) Posted Jan 26, 2005 17:44 UTC (Wed) by rgmoore (✭ supporter ✭, #75) [Link] This is relevant because the case isn't limited to SCO's claims. IBM is countersuing for patent infringement, and copies of SCO's code are certainly relevant in determining the truth of that claim.

Slow updates Posted Jan 26, 2005 19:48 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] It gets even better: this advisory just came out for a SCO-specific local root problem first identified in 2003...
