IBM's Steamroller Just Keeps on Rolling (Groklaw)
Groklaw presents IBM's latest filings (mostly a set of attempts to strike SCO's testimony) with clear pleasure. "What does it all mean? That IBM wishes to strike all the so-called facts in dispute that SCO has attempted to offer. That SCO will be shown no mercy. If they fail to dot an i, IBM will call them on it, with a motion and oral argument requested, all of which costs money to respond to and deal with. It also means that IBM believes that SCO is manufacturing bogus issues, in an attempt to create some fact dispute sufficient to survive IBM's summary judgment on its 10th counterclaim, and they intend to call them on it. It also means that the tide has turned, and IBM is on the offensive now."

IBM's Steamroller Just Keeps on Rolling (Groklaw) Posted Aug 25, 2004 12:50 UTC (Wed) by stumbles (guest, #8796) [Link] What can be said. SCOG has certainly given IBM lawyers a cornucopia ofmaterial to hang them with. They have yet to produce any code they claim is theirs, this after having not complied with 2 court orders to do so. They play extremely loose with interpreting the original contract between IBM and AT&T, to the point IMO they just make stuff up and the list goes on. It almost reminds me of Microsoft's circus, erm, monopoly trial who themselves manufactured and faked evidence.
IBM's Steamroller Just Keeps on Rolling (Groklaw) Posted Aug 26, 2004 12:23 UTC (Thu) by khess (guest, #21687) [Link] It is time, IMHO, for SCO to sell whatever value they offer to someone else. SCO Unix was cute 10+ years ago, but it is really time for it to go away. SCO is very non-standard and difficult to deal with, albeit extremely stable, and outdated.IBM will win out because they have more money to spend and IBM will make sure that SCO spends themselves into bankruptcy. It is a frivolous exercise, like most lawsuits, and only the lawyers win in the end. Dammit, can't we all just get along?
