Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[TJ Parker]

I think SCOx case is much better then most pundits think. I am long. The disinformation, and vile critisiscm of the company reminds me alot of Qcom and RMBS in the early days. Now I think they have 50% chance of winning in court. I however dont believe IBM would take that risk, and chance a 5 billion verdict, and slowing of LINUX adoption. My guess is this gets settled or SCO gets bought.

please please please, you owe it to yourself to at least check out the discussions on groklaw ( http://www.groklaw.net/ ). folks from scox have had a long time to produce evidence of their claims, and they refused; when finally forced to by the court, there really is nothing ... (and if there *were* anything, it would be removed from linux by the end of the day it was revealed and the folks would rewrite it ...). this is a big deal to the linux community, and they would evicerate and rebuild linux first before allowing scox to profit off their work ...
