The date is March of 2004, and as you can plainly see, IBM asked SCO to provide the following:

INTERROGATORY NO. 15:

For each line of code and other material identified in response to Interrogatory Nos. 1-13, please state or identify (a) whether it constitutes an idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle or discovery and, if not, why not and what it constitutes;...

So when SCO tells the judge, as it did at the last hearing regarding SCO's objections to Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells' June 28 Order, that it wasn't asked to provide lines of code with specificity, is that true?

So you can evaluate for yourself, here is part of what SCO's attorney, Stuart Singer, said at that hearing:

At tab 22, we reproduce what IBM had proposed this Court include in its July order. It's July 2005 order said that the parties should disclose misuse of materials with specificity. It didn't say anything about line coordinates of code. IBM has proposed Language which talks about providing, for each misused item, version, file and line of code and origin information. The Court did not include that in its order. We believe it was reasonable for the Court not to include it in its order because the type of specificity required and available is going to differ depending on what the source material has. We are being sanctioned as though this was in the order, when in fact it isn't.

Now, with respect to the nine coordinates of code -- and I point this out at tab 23 -- there has never been an express order on the subject. This whole position -- and I am not going to go into detail on all these because I think that the briefs set these forward. What's clear is there is no express orders on the subject of nine coordinates of source code. That is something which IBM seeks to glean from these discovery requests. Until this whole proceeding on the motion to strike our claims, there has been no consideration or argument on the level of specificity that should be provided for method and concept disclosures where source code is not a part of the disclosure, and there has been no order, following the December submissions, that tells us that you need to provide X, Y and Z or you will have your claims struck. Instead, the order just goes directly to striking those claims.

Now, I'd like to point out a few things about the discovery that is now being cited in addition to the July 2005 order which was the basis for the original motion. Piggybacked on top of that has been discovery requests. At tab 25 -- this is IBM's request -- their interrogatory, principal interrogatory that is at issue here, does ask for identification of product, file and line of code. But it qualifies it with the words "where appropriate," which is an important qualification because if you don't have a source code disclosure, you can't create coordinates.

To which, when it was his turn to speak, IBM's attorney, David Marriott, said:

Second undisputed fact, Judge, is that because of the size of the universe of potentially implicated codes, methods and concepts, IBM propounded a series of discovery requests which are illustrated at tab 5 of the book in which, contrary to what Mr. Singer just argued, IBM asked in very specific terms for. And I will walk Your Honor through this, with the Court's permission, 31 momentarily; version, file and line information with respect to every one of the allegedly misused operating system elements.

Undisputed fact number 3, Judge. In response to IBM's discovery requests, in SCO's final disclosures of allegedly misused information, SCO failed, as to 187 of its 294 items, to identify even the most basic identifying information, version, file and line information.

And if Your Honor will look at tab 6 of the book which we've provided, you will see there an illustration of SCO's failings in this respect. As to not a single one, Judge, of the 187 items did SCO provide line information relating to System V. Not a single line of System V code is identified with respect to any of those 187 items. As to AIX and Dynix, which are alternative categories, if you look at the middle two columns, not a single line of AIX or Dynix code is provided with respect to those two sets of operating systems.

And finally, now, with respect to Linux, SCO provided line information with respect to three of the 187 items of allegedly misused information. And, as to those three, Judge, they failed to provide even version information for the supposed improper disclosures. There are, by rough estimation, a hundred -- 500 plus versions of Linux.

Those are the three undisputed facts I would submit are of great consequence to this motion.

In short, SCO didn't just miss; it missed by a mile. This document, Exhibit 14, is one of several interrogatories that IBM sent to SCO, as mentioned by Marriott, and you can plainly see, as can Judge Dale Kimball, that it asks for specificity from SCO, mentioning lines of code with respect to methods and concepts.
