Judge: IBM to provide data to SCO

Grace Leong DAILY HERALD
SCO, in a statement issued Wednesday, said it was pleased with the court's order "denying without prejudice all three of IBM's motions to effectively dismiss SCO claims without a trial. Coupled with last month's ruling from the Magistrate Judge on discovery, we are now looking forward to proceeding with our case without delay and towards our day in court."

 SCO suit still alive but judge is peeved
Where's the evidence? He scolds the Utah firm while denying IBM's dismissal bid
By Bob Mims
The Salt Lake Tribune
A federal judge Wednesday refused to grant IBM's bids to dismiss a core portion of the SCO Group's $5 billion, Linux-related lawsuit - but not before criticizing some of the Utah company's courtroom tactics.
    In September, IBM asked U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball to declare that its use of Linux had not infringed on SCO's purported Unix copyrights. The Lindon software company, in its March 2003 suit against IBM and in subsequent suits against others, contends its Unix code was illegally incorporated into the freely distributed Linux operating system.

A judge in the United States issued a damning indictment of SCO's case against IBM, citing the 'complete lack' of evidence, but did not grant a summary judgement in IBM's favour

Judge denies 5 motions in SCO-IBM case

By Brice Wallace
Deseret Morning News
A federal judge on Wednesday denied several motions key to the ongoing legal disputes between Lindon-based SCO Group and International Business Machines Corp.
      U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball denied one SCO motion and four IBM motions or cross-motions.
      Perhaps the most significant action Wednesday was Kimball saying it is "premature" to grant summary judgment on IBM's counterclaim that it does not infringe SCO's copyrights concerning Unix computer operating system software. He also denied a SCO motion to dismiss or stay that counterclaim.

Judge slams SCO's lack of evidence against IBM
By Stephen Shankland CNET News.com
The federal judge overseeing the SCO Group's suit against IBM regarding Unix and Linux has thwarted an IBM attempt to defang SCO's claims, but he also voiced loud skepticism about SCO's case.

Judge declares SCO's lack of evidence 'astonishing'

Rodney Gedda

In a sign that the long-running battle between IBM and The SCO Group over alleged copyright infringement may be winding down, US district court judge Dale Kimball has labelled SCO's ability to provide evidence to support its case as astonishing and has denied the company's motion to dismiss a key counterclaim by IBM.

SCO dodges bullet
By Lucy Sherriff

SCO dodged a legal bullet, yesterday, as the judge overseeing its lawsuit against IBM refused the computer giant's request for a summary judgment. But it may only be a temporary reprieve, as District Judge Dale Kimball used his statement to launch a scathing attack on the merits of SCOs case against IBM.

Judge Says SCO's IBM Case Lacks Evidence
By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols

 The SCO Group's small victory over IBM in its case concerning Linux/Unix intellectual property rights didn't last long.

U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball on Tuesday ruled that while the court wouldn't dismiss SCO's claims that IBM had violated SCO's Unix copyrights, it also hadn't seen any proof to support SCO's claims.

SCO case in hot water

Judge says there is a lack of evidence

By Nick Farrell:
US FEDERAL judge Dale Kimball blasted the anti-Linux bad-boy company SCO for failing to turn up at court with any "competent evidence".

Is SCO Down for the Count This Time?
By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
 At first glance, it appears that The SCO Group's case against IBM for Linux/Unix intellectual property right violations is all but over, after the judge said Tuesday that the court hasn't seen any hard evidence to support SCO's claims.

U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball wrote Tuesday, "It is astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence to create a disputed fact regarding whether IBM has infringed SCO's alleged copyrights through IBM's Linux activities."
