He even wrote a book about it back then, and he attaches excerpts from the book. If summary judgment is denied, Novell requests in the alternative that this Court issue a preliminary injunction requiring an accounting and establishing a constructive trust.
Another secret in SCO's mountain of secret offenses for which they would like IBM to pay them billions.
Maybe it was to just have something folks could pay attention to, so they wouldn't notice that IBM just dumped a load of bricks on SCO's head. I believe you will find all the methods and concepts you can eat in there. Patricia Dunn and Larry Sonsini are answering questions now. With a gazillion exhibits. I reproduce it in full.
I find that hilarious. The whole memo was filed under seal, and this is the redacted version. And if anyone wants to split it up into smaller chunks for our friends in Europe who are on dialup, just send me the PDFs and I'll gladly put them up also. What would the damages be, I wondered?
I appreciate it very much. SCO employees contributed code to the kernel under the GPL.
According to the witnesses, it just happened, and nobody knows quite how, because to hear them tell it no one was paying attention except folks who weren't in charge. Is that not SCO to the max? The whole memo was filed under seal, and this is the redacted version. It is hilarious, and I think I may be forgiven for suggesting that at a minimum they appear to have released all the methods and concepts under the GPL knowingly. Was it all about getting him off the board by any means necessary? I'll show you the Pacer text, and I'll get the filings up as soon as I can.
They would be embarrassed. He agreed I could, so here's his explanation, which I'm sure will help you to understand that win or lose, IBM comes out ahead. The title is almost longer than the memo, and most of page three is sealed. Novell wants its money from the Microsoft and Sun Microsystems licenses.
And that is the way the people in our company feel.
One can't help but ask. They always act like such weanies when the tables are turned and somebody stronger than they are walks into the playground. What would the damages be, I wondered?
If summary judgment is denied, Novell requests in the alternative that this Court issue a preliminary injunction requiring an accounting and establishing a constructive trust. They do seem to be in a bit of a tizzy.
Man pages are included of course.
