They could take a lesson from MS
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 30 2012 @ 03:49 AM EDT
How about if IBM takes a lesson from MS and quietly pays a small third party to buy the litigation prospects?

That third party can then go to court to "finish" the process while being entirely honest about what evidence it has, and the court can quickly and very finally rubber-stamp IBM's well-established innocence. IBM can accept some kind of settlement that gets it all the remaining SCO records, which it can then publish on a 3x5 card the web for all to peruse.

The trail back to the original puppeteer is bound to be cold by now, but the Groklawyers of the world might be able to find something juicy in there.

- O4W, with tongue in cheek.

No admission...

Or if all they bought were the records, not the IP.

Unfortunately, I think that's already been bought by Yarro. However, if it
hasn't been sold and IBM make a public bid, the results could be interesting
:-)

Cheers,
Wol
