Some SCO and IBM stuff

[Jerry Feldman]

I check Groklaw from time to time, just to keep myself somewhat informed.

I was somewhat amused by a couple of things in the article:
"They talked again about SCO wanting to travel from Aurora, NY to LA and 
asking for a map to China. IBM's David Marriott said that now SCO is not 
only asking for a map to China, which won't help it get to LA, but it wants 
every version of every map of China, including all the drafts, and all the 
maps of all the roads in China, including all the roads ever contemplated 
but never actually built."

"SCO's theory is this: If B is a derivative of A, and C is a derivative of 
B, then C is a derivative of A. SCO owns A, so it owns C, under their 
theory of what the contract says".

In general, the lawsuit is in the boring stage.
