Re: [MLUG] Novell vs SCO case (fwd)

[Phillip Kelchen <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I looked at it on Yahoo! news and the title- "Novell goes for SCO's 
Throat"- was very true. If Novell wins, SCO is deader than disco. If 
Novell loses, SCO will still be gone because of the large legal fees the 
suit will require from both sides. But if that happens, MSFT will just 
get another IP company to sue Novell, IBM, and Red Hat like they got SCO 
to do earlier.

I am personally tired of all the suits. Only the lawyers win. If it is 
true that IP had been honest-to-God stolen, there does need to be some 
action taken. But most of the time, it is just grasping at straws or to 
vent frustration. See AMD vs. Intel for that. Yeah, maybe Intel bent the 
rules a bit and needs to be reined in. But it should have been the 
government and not AMD to pursue this. AMD just put their improving 
image down several pegs with most people for suing rather than competing.

The one suit I have been waiting to see is the breakup of MSFT. Judge 
Jackson dodged this very deftly before and nothing really happened. I 
see some ambitious AG in the future taking on this case and winning. It 
will be bloody and ugly, but I think it needs to happen.
