The 8 Remaining IBM Counterclaims (Groklaw) [LWN.net]

IBM has dropped some of its counterclaims in the SCO suit. Groklaw looks at the remaining counter claims and notes that SCO's request for more documents has been denied by the court. "Not to ruin SCO's Saturday or anything, but after all that, SCO still faces Red Hat's claims, which are merely on hold, waiting for IBM to finish. And as SCO points out in its SEC filings, it is possible the company could face regulatory issues down the road. I'm sure they are very busy right now making sure they didn't misrepresent to the SEC that IBM was violating Judge Wells' discovery orders, now that Judge Wells has told them in a public hearing that IBM correctly understood her orders, not SCO, and that IBM, contrary to SCO's slurs, fulfilled its discovery obligations regarding nonpublic Linux materials."

There are 11 counterclaims remaining, including in particular 9 and 10 for declaratory judgement for non-infringement (PJ missed out a few at first, but corrected herself).

And in the end, the whole story will be forgotten and the
SCO guys will walk away like ntohing had happened. :)

Money buys everything and it's only the little guys, You and Me,
who get caught.

You think so ?

Sure, none of them will hunger, probably not even get jailtime like they deserve.

But on the other hand I'm sure there's now millions of people who would, on principle, avoid buying *anything* from *any* company where i.e. Darl Mcbride has *any* position. I know for a fact I wouldn't want to buy even a Pizza from a place where he sweeps the floors. I don't think I'm the only one.
