You have to laugh...

As soon as someone produces a verbatim I'll quote from it....but for now from memory

OK one part which caught my attention (& sense of humour) was that the
SCO guys were basically saying that they didn't get the copyright to the
Unix code becuase of some contract technicality/ mix up but that everyone
round the table had agreed that SCO should have the IP.

Quick point:

A new acronym? Instead of RTFM I would suggest RTFC where C = contract.

Anyway so because Novell has said "oy we own the copyright you lying
blackmailing B*stards" they have no stepped right back & are now
in effect saying "we never intended any Patent or copyright suits just
a "breach of contract" wrt IBM.

So now the genius'es who thought they were buying the copyright, Patents
etc but coz they never read the contract......didn't are now going mano a
mano with IBM who's lawyers are known & feared throughout the inhabited
planets...over a "contract dispute" over stuff like "high
end enterprise features" which......ooooooohhhh who would have
written? IBM with it's hstory of high end enterprise stuff or SCO?

Oh hold my sides in lest they split.
