There, that's correct. This order states that IBM has complied with the code discovery order, and now gives a brand new one.
Did you even read the context?
Facts: She's making IBM detail exactly how they collected the information for the express purpose of finally making SCO stop bitching that they didn't get all that they wanted. Actually, the exact words were "Once again by requiring this, the court seeks to circumvent the rote objection by SCO alleging that they did not get enough information." Rote, "A memorizing process using routine or repetition, often without full attention or comprehension ... Mechanical routine." By her own words, the judge believes that SCO automatically complains about all discovery, whether they have a valid reason to or not.
My interpretation: SCO got this discovery not only because of legal grounds, but because the judge is tired of SCO's constant complaining.
clearly, if the judge had felt that SCO's request didn't warrant the order, she wouldn't have done so.
The judge has previously denied this request several times, stating that it may grant it later if SCO can argue they actually need the code. I think SCO finally wore her down, like the parent who finally buys the tantrum child the candy at the checkout line.
Yep. Sounds to me like the judge is bending over backwards to avoid giving SCO any grounds for appealing a ruling against them, which in turn implies that the evidence to date makes such a ruling likely.
