I am really, really happy about this
Authored by: om1er on Thursday, April 25 2013 @ 10:41 PM EDT
This cheered me up a lot.

I was wondering just this morning whatever happened to their motion to re-open
the case, and how long they would have to keep waiting for an answer from the
court. Now they've got the answer; drop the stay and face the music, or go
away. That is perfect.

Careful ...

... the work "bonk" has other meanings of which you may not be aware

Oh, come on...
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 26 2013 @ 02:10 AM EDT
"... It's literally the foundation for our global economy, he
explained."

A bit of a poetic exaggeration, I would say. What about oil, coal, steel,
electricity ...?

Of course I agree Linux is very important, and it has become so in a
staggeringly short time! I myself recall thinking of it as a silly me-too
unix-like toy OS back in early 1990's, with no change in the real world,
especially since the sources for the real BSD Unix had also become widely
available around the same time. But then BSD became mired in the AT&T
lawsuit, and Linux flew past it under the radar...

I wish that dismissed motion was the last we hear from SCO.

A Bonk on the Head! Hah!!!!

Any company that Falls Downstairs, Hitting its Head on Every Step isn't going to be impressed by a bonk on the head.

Stay already lifted???
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 26 2013 @ 03:55 AM EDT
Here is a quote from Groklaw of 2012-02-16:

>>>
It was IBM that suggested in its opposition to SCO's motion that the best way
forward was to ask the Bankruptcy Court to lift the stay on *both* parties,
which is what the stipulation agrees to.

Update: The judge in Bankruptcy Court in Delaware has already signed the order
approving the stipulation.
>>>

So why is judge Nuffer waiting for it again?

"Sometimes I miss covering SCO"
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 26 2013 @ 07:15 AM EDT
Well, sometimes I miss reading about SCO, however I've found the Prenda Law saga has been a worthy substitute!

Aluminum Foil Hat Reason For IBM to Re-Open
Authored by: EdM on Friday, April 26 2013 @ 07:12 PM EDT
This is highly speculative, but I can think of one possible reason for IBM to
want to pursue their claims.

Way back when, IBM asked for discovery about Microsoft's involvement in
encouraging the $50MM cash infusion that TSCOG got. What if IBM found something
interesting? Pursuing their counter-claims against SCO could put that something
interesting into the public record, and perhaps give them an opportunity to go
after some bigger fish.

Linux IS everywhere
Authored by: Powerin on Sunday, April 28 2013 @ 07:44 AM EDT
I've been following Groklaw since the early days, but it's years since I have
posted anything. Thanks PJ for all your work.

Linux really is everywhere these days and in places you maybe wouldn't expect.
Forget boring things like routers, TVs and data centres. Linux runs the touch
screen control systems in our new $200K farm tractor. Tractors these days are
just about totally fly-by-wire. The GPS auto-steering system that we fitted to
the tractor also runs Linux. I can get a disk with the source code (as required
by the GPL) from both the manufacturers.

This is part of the Linux dream that Groklaw helped to bring to fruition.

Who is paying for the motion practice?
Authored by: hopethishelps on Sunday, April 28 2013 @ 05:54 PM EDT

A lawyer acting for SCO filed a motion. Who is paying the lawyer?
