SCO & Novell's Motions in Limine and Daubert Motions - A Chart
Tuesday, February 23 2010 @ 09:20 PM EST

This should help us follow what is happening with the many motions in limine and motions for Daubert hearings in SCO v. Novell: a chart Steve Martin whipped up for us showing each motion, the memorandum in opposition, and the judge's order. We've set it up as a permanent page, with a link from the Timelines page so you can always find it.

"scorecard"
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 23 2010 @ 09:38 PM EST
Counting motions granted as +1, and motions denied as -1, ignoring all others,
the current score appears to be:

SCO 0
Novell -2

(Disclaimer: Your results may vary; past performance is not an indicator of
future returns.)

A Chart
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 23 2010 @ 09:59 PM EST
This is great. My wishlist would include another chart of the complaint issues
and the major rulings associated with each.

Looking at SCO's 2nd Ammeded Complaint,

http://groklaw.net/article.php?story=20060109231849961

there is

Slander of Title
Breach of the APA and TLA
Alternative Breach-of-Contract Claim Seeking Specific Performance
Copyright Infringement
Unfair Competition

But I'm not sure which of these are complete.

Where is the court record of Novel v SCO appeal - the transcript of 05/06/09 -
or thereabouts?

Order #728 - 636 denied, 646 granted.

Add these to the table?

631 Granted.
Authored by: red floyd on Wednesday, February 24 2010 @ 11:08 AM EST
Given that 631 is granted, and 631 is titled
MOTION in Limine No. 4 to Preclude SCO from Contesting that Novell had an Objectively Reasonable, Good Faith Basis for its Statements Regarding Copyright Ownership
If SCOXQ can't contest that Novell had an objectively reasonable, good faith basis, then how can they possibly win on Slander of Title?

    Scoreboard after 728
    Authored by: Silurian on Wednesday, February 24 2010 @ 07:08 PM EST
    The effect of 728 is that all of SCO motion in limine are ordered, seventeen of
    Novell motion in limine are ordered, two of Novell motion in limine are pending,
    and the three Novell daubert motions are pending. Set aside two pending motion
    in limine and three pending daubert motions.

    I will score granter as +1, denied as -1, granted in part and deined in part as
    0, and "under advisement" as zero.

    If my arithmetic is correct (no warranty!) the score for SCO is +2 from 4, so
    say +50%. The score for Novell is -3 from 17, so say -18%.

    Quite a difference.
