The Wallace Complaint as text

By codswallet, Section Diary
Posted on Tue Jun 7th, 2005 at 04:59:39 EST

I've typed up the Wallace complaint so people who want to quote sectins of it will have something to work with. This is just the complaint - no commentary. I've added [sic] in a few places, that's it. I've kept the same line spacing and line breaks.

SCO's claims according to SCO

By codswallet, Section Diary
Posted on Sun May 15th, 2005 at 16:20:14 EST

I posted this on Groklaw a fair while back. It's the latest publicly available statement by SCO of the legal basis for their claims against IBM. I think I have a point by point refutation lying around here somewhere to go with it, but I'll have to find it.

Making SCO Pay

By codswallet, Section Diary
Posted on Mon Mar 28th, 2005 at 19:45:38 EST

For a while now I've been expecting IBM to ask that SCO pay for the enormous discovery they've worked so hard to get. I thought I'd analyze what chance IBM had with such a motion, when they would be most likely to file it and when it would be ruled on.
