Wednesday update

Here is some fresh Pacer harvest: Novell files something under seal and gets another lawyer; IBM gets an extension of time and Jeffrey Leitzinger gets a protective order (pdf) for his Personal Financial Information...

Groklaw has previously reported on the motion and IBM's answer.

For Novell we have the following Pacer entries:

237: **SEALED DOCUMENT** REPLY TO RESPONSE regarding 171 MOTION for Partial Summary Judgment on Novell's Fourth Claim for Relief filed by Defendant Novell, Inc.. (blk) (Entered: 02/13/2007)
238: ORDER granting 234 Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Grant L. Kim for Novell, Inc..
Attorneys admitted Pro Hac Vice may download a copy of the District of Utahs local rules from the courts web site at http://www.utd.uscourts.gov. Signed by Judge Dale A. Kimball on 2/13/07. (blk) (Entered: 02/13/2007)
And in the SCO-IBM case we have:
958 - Order [SCO v. IBM 958] Granting SCO's Motion for a Protective Order Regarding Dr. Jeffrey Leitzingers Personal Financial Information. Signed February 12, 2007 by Judge Brooke C. Wells.
959: ORDER granting 957 Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply re: Objections and Motion to Amend Decision. Replies due by 2/16/2007. Signed by Judge Dale A. Kimball on 2/13/07. (blk) (Entered: 02/13/2007)

PLEASE EVERYBODY MIRROR iowaconsumercase.org
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 10:54 AM EST
Please everybody download as much as you can
of iowaconsumercase.org before it goes offline.

In the DR-DOS ligation (if I remember well)
the materials went offline a week after
it was settled, by judge order.

Replicating these materials for redundancy
is important to preserve them for posterity.

Analysing every single detail in them will
have us busy for years to come, I anticipate
these materials will be very useful in future
Microsoft attacks.

Where's the news about the subpeona of PJ???
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 10:55 AM EST
What, no news about SCO going after PJ?

Are we that slanted here?

Is PJ really sick, or just hiding from the legal action?

and one wonders if there really is a PJ anyhow (despite all the claims)

Sign the postings?

Wouldn't it be appropriate to sign this post "Not-PJ" or something,
and link to PJ's "I'm away" article? Just to make it clear to visitors
who come across this a few years down the road?

PJ KNOWS..
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 12:11 PM EST
perfectly well that SCO can make her life a nightmare simply out of spite. It is
the nature of bogus litigation we know so well from this site.

I hope she sends us a postcard from that sunny beach.

Scary Tinfoil Thoughts
Authored by: sunnyfla on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 01:25 PM EST
<tinfoil hat>

Question: If PJ were "dissappeared", is there any way we would know?

Can anyone confirm that, as of this moment, PJ is ok?

PJ Hiding under mountains of code.

SCO will never find her.

PJ is hiding under their "Mountains Of Code".

SCO thinks PJ is an IBM front for the same reason they think IBM is why Linux is successful
Authored by: karl on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 03:01 PM EST
This is funny. What's SCO's evidence that PJ is a front for IBM lawyers rather than who she (or he) says she is???

...the quality of the work. They disbelieve that it's possible for Groklaw to be so good unless it has funding, corporate support, etc, therefore it must be a front for IBM.

What is SCO's evidence that Linux used code stolen from them? Well, none of course, but ironically, again, they disbelieve that it's possible for Linux to be so good unless it had funding, corporate support, etc, and, therefore, IBM must have been responsible for making Linux good enough to compete against UNIX.

Fundamentally they disbelieve that anything of high quality can be produced unless it's done by a business out to make a profit, even though they ship PostgreSQL, gcc, and, in fact, open source software is the backbone of their product, particularly since Oracle and others, seeing their miniscule and declining market share, ceased to support their products.

On a side note, Buchanan avoided jail for Watergate because he was "just a speechwriter". Hi, Blake.

Copiepresse wins Belgian court battle against Google, fines reduced
Authored by: Sean DALY on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 03:17 PM EST
http://www.copiepresse.be

Copiepresse has published the PDF of yesterday's ruling of the Brussels Court of
First Instance which upholds the previous judgement against Google, while
reducing the daily fines to 25,000 EUR.

Margaret Boribon, General Secretary of Copiepresse, stated in our Groklaw
interview that she wanted to negotiate with Google, but they refused to
communicate...

The Movie Spartacus
Authored by: gbl on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 03:19 PM EST
There is a scene when the Romans have captured the run away slaves. A Roman
officer faces the crowd of sitting slaves and asks, "Who is
Spartacus?"

And one by one, the slaves stand and shout, "I am Spartacus!"

Seems appropriate somehow :-)

Wednesday update
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 04:48 PM EST
Its not up to SCO. Its up to the Judge.

Anyone can fight a subpoena and let the judge decide if the burden inflicted
outweighs the relevance of the information sought.

Anyone can walk out of a deposition if one side is actually being too abusive
and then let the judge decide if the discovery line should continue.

I wish you wisdom PJ
Authored by: fjalvingh on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 06:52 PM EST
What really bothers me is that if the subpoena nonsense is true PJ must be in
quite a jam. She made it very clear that she doesn't want her private life or
her identity known, and she has all rights to want it thus. But with the respect
she has for the justice system this might be a very nasty dilemma.
I hope it is not the reason for her health break but I surmise otherwise.
I wish her lots of wisdom and hope this idiocy goes away before she has to
choose between a rock and a hard place.
It's a scummy thing to do do a person, but that SCO was scum is no surprise.

Wednesday update
Authored by: AndyC on Thursday, February 15 2007 @ 03:54 AM EST
The question in my mind is this; where has this idea that SCO tried to serve a
supoena on PJ come from?

a) Is it in a court filing?
b) Has it come from the court appointed bailiff (or whoever tried to serve the
supoena on PJ)?
c) Or has it just come from SCO via the press?

I actually don't know, but I suspect c) is about as close to the truth as we are
going to get when dealing with SCO.

iowaconsumercases.org must be authorized Wednesday update
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 15 2007 @ 09:11 AM EST
Excuse my foriegn language. Does anyone know where there is a mirror of the
transcripts for the Iowa Comes VS Microsoft files? For some stupid reason, I
thought that the public transcripts would remain public. Now you can't get in
unless you are "AUTHORIZED".

What about Thursday/Friday update?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 15 2007 @ 07:32 PM EST
I know, Mathfox, you're over worked, and it is well
appreciated! Thank you! As a suggestion, new major topic
would be appreciated also. It gets tough to separate the
new from the old after 500 or so postings.

Regardless, send a "Thank you, we love and miss you." to PJ.
We all (I assume that is a fact) miss her. Oh, we like
you too. :) Hey, hey, you know what I'm saying.

Thanks.
:)
