SCO losing case against IBM

Uh oh... seems like the end is nearing for SCO.

SCO's failing case against IBM

Explaining the change, AT&T wrote that the sentence was added to assure licensees that the company would claim no ownership in the software that they developed--only the portion of the software developed by AT&T.

SCO conveniently overlooked this change when it decided to sue IBM. As AT&T's successor in interest, SCO is legally bound to honor the contract and publicly stated interpretation of AT&T's terms. That's why I think SCO's major claim against IBM and Linux will fail. The remaining copyright infringement claim is that Linux makes use of the Unix API (application program interface), and that copies of several header files defining that API were included in Linux.

Not that it's SCO's case anyway - they could have done nothing w/o M$'s surreptitious financial backing.

Whether or not SCO is right in the case (which they arent) you should be worried. What if some nub judge finds SCO's claims to be valid? We'd all be fukced.
