Looks like the judge delayed the case six more months to November 2005. If IBM would just hand over the evidence already we could finally get this thing started.
"Why do you act so surprised that SCO is financially suffering? Why do you think they are suing in the first place? Because business was booming? No, they are being squished like a bug by IBM and their partners, who backstabbed them and are now trying to take their property in the process. Remind you of any other big bad computer company, you so constantly complain about? Does me."
How is IBM squishing SCO? SCO sued IBM!!!!
"Looks like the judge delayed the case six more months to November 2005. If IBM would just hand over the evidence already we could finally get this thing started."
It's SCO that never handed over the evidence, even when ordered to by a Judge. The source to Linux is publicly available, and SCO hasn't said which lines are infringing. You're spinning.
Because they sue people. It's what all the Canopy Group companies do. Back when this one was called Caldera, they sued Microsoft and got over $100 million. Now they're suing IBM. And Novell. And DaimlerChrysler. And Autozone.
Center 7, another Canopy Group company, just got $40 million out of Computer Associates in another lawsuit. Instead of making products, these guys sue people. It's what they do.
That would be a public service if IBM can pull it off. Think of all the BS lawsuits that will be avoided if IBM can put the Canopy Group out of business.
That's a lie, and what's worse, you know it's a lie because you've been caught in this one before. This SCO is not the same company that had a partnership with IBM that was cancelled. This company bought the business after the program had been cancelled. They knew all about the cancellation when they bought the business.
What property? They've been ordered by the judge twice to tell the court precisely what property it is that IBM supposedly took. They can't do it.
Your formulation would steer the reader that you are trying to mislead into thinking that IBM has refused to give SCO something that SCO is entitled to. You probably know that isn't case; SCO got what the judge said they could have. SCO asked for the Moon, but the judge said no. They are unhappy with this. Now they are asking for more. Let's see if the judge gives it to them. In the meantime, don't try to fool people into thinking that IBM is withholding something. That would be disingenuous of you.
C'mon, dude. SCO should have had some clue where to find evidence to support their case before they filed suit. Now they want to dig through AIX to try to find something, ANYTHING to back up their claim.
I'm sure SCO will someday find some line of pagerized code, some commented-out line of debugging code, something.
It's like my neighbor accusing me of stealing something, problem is he can't remember what it is I supposedly stole. So the police get themselves a search warrant and rummage through my entire house, emptying drawers, cabinets, storage containers...
In they end, they do find something. Maybe it's a pie plate, left here from some long forgotten get-together.
