Well, I haven't though about SCO issues for over a decade. :)

Re: "the new owners of the assets are continuing the fun."
Yeah, I saw that too, and I thought it was pretty weird. Because as I recall it the "assets" they bought, whatever they were supposed to be, were supposed to explicitly exclude anything that might make a continuation of these shenanigans possible. Dunno where I got that from, though; as Alex says, it's been a while. (Maybe from Groklaw? :-) -- Christian R.

That is your opinion...
... this is Xinuos' opinion First, IBM stole Xinuos' intellectual property and used that stolen property to build and sell a product to compete with Xinuos itself," the US Virgin Islands-based software biz claims in its complaint. "Second, stolen property in IBM's hand, IBM and Red Hat illegally agreed to divide the relevant market and use their growing market powers to victimize consumers, innovative competitors, and innovation itself. It is the warmed over SCO complaint with some anti-trust sauce poured on. |
