And when it does start it will deal with, at most, about a 10th of what was originally filed by SCO. Face it this is a huge loss for SCO which should have stuck to extorting smaller companies like auto-zone rather than IBM..
Looking at what SCO has accomplished in court, I personally don't see it going to trial.
The only way this could go to trial is if the lawyers and executives for IBM are actually stupid enough not to file motions for dismissal or summary judgment.
