Zombie SCO Rises Again, Appeals Latest Ruling
- heresy 16y agoBoies-Schiller up to their old tricks.
- logic 16y agoThey're actually pretty much required to do this; Boies Schiller signed an agreement with SCO to cap legal expenses way back in 2004, thinking they'd be able to litigate this quickly. Bad bet on their part; they're still on the hook to faithfully defend their client in this case until all options are exhausted, without additional compensation. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost. :) Groklaw link covering the appeal: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20100707202429776 http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20100707202429776 Groklaw link from 2004 covering the fee cap: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20041104173931772 http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20041104173931772
- ax0n 16y agoIf a SCO appeal surprises anyone, they haven't been paying attention.
- motters 16y agoWhat's the standard procedure with zombies? Do you have to stake them through the heart, like vampires?
- zapb 16y agoIf video games have taught me anything, it takes a shotgun at close range. At least that way is the most fun.
- nooneelse 16y agoDouble tap to the head to be sure (ie shoot them twice in the head). In this case, I guess that translates into not just defeating their claims, but someone needing to sue SCO so that its continued existence is given a high negative utility to those who own it.
- m0nastic 16y agoThe thing that made me the saddest about what SCO has become was that during the time I lived in Santa Cruz, I had the opportunity to become friends with a bunch of ex-Sco guys who were among the smartest people I'd ever met. They all left long before the company turned into a patent-troll, and were actually embarrassed to have worked there.
