I didn't know that
Authored by: Ian Al on Saturday, May 25 2013 @ 11:51 AM EDT
I have been searching for the pledge, but with no luck. Have you got a link to
the relevant Groklaw page?

It would, in part, explain the very relaxed IBM attitude to the SCO desperation.
Or, should I say, Cahn's new spin of the Wheel of Fortune.

One day, he will notice that the wheel has no 'Win' positions and just one
'Well, at least you did not lose on this spin' slot.

I can't see what's in it for him as Chapter 7 executioner. Under Chapter 11, I
seem to remember that he could gouge cash out of the company, as long as
gouge-able cash existed. That is long gone and so I suppose he is just getting
his bus fares from the court coffers.

Counterclaim 10
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, May 28 2013 @ 09:27 AM EDT
Not only did Novell promise not to sue over any UNIX code in Linux, they made a
public declaration that there is no UNIX code in Linux, and they were found to
be the owners of the copyrights to UNIX, so it would be difficult for any later
owner of the UNIX copyrights (if there ever might be one) to try to claim that
there is UNIX code in Linux, unless hey could show that it was added after that
public statement by Novell.
