SCO's June 17 Letter to the Judge in Red Hat (Groklaw)
[Posted July 10, 2004 by corbet]
When the Red Hat case was put on hold, the judge required letters from both sides every 90 days detailing the progress in the other cases. SCO's first such letter to the judge has now
shown up on Groklaw. It looks like an exercise in damage control.
"
As SCO's actions have thus made clear, it continues to believe that the most rational route to an overall resolution of this problem is through negotiation, and not broad-based litigation."
Update: Red Hat's
letter is now up as well. "SCO's June 17 effort to explain away
the numerous inconsistent statements it has made to this Court and to other
federal courts around the country again make plain SCO's litigation
strategy. SCO's ultimate objective is to delay for as long as possible
resolution of the copyright claims that are at the heart of each of the
pending lawsuits. By avoiding final adjudication of its copyright claims,
SCO can continue to foster fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the marketplace
about the long-term viability of Linux."
