winnings from SCO v IBM

WSJ breaks down lawyer's potential
winnings from SCO v IBM 11/06/2003 10:03 AM
This WSJ article says attorney David Boies could see $49.4 million or more from representing SCO in its $3B lawsuit alleging IBM stole trade secrets over Linux software-- even if SCO's case is unsuccessful.

Documents SCO recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission say the Lindon, Utah, software firm "is in the process of finalizing" a deal with its counsel. Under the agreement, SCO would pay the lawyers 20% of the proceeds of "a sale of SCO during the pendancy of litigation." SCO is suing International Business Machines Corp.

In 4 p.m. trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market Wednesday, SCO was at $17.87, giving the company a market capitalization of $247 million. If SCO sells at that price, the Boies firm would be entitled to $49.4 million -- and probably more with the premium that usually comes in a takeover.

eBay confuses free software and piracy

eBay confuses free software and piracy 12/15/2003 10:25 AM
I give eBay credit for trying to do the right thing. In 1999, James Love documented on the Consumer Project for Technology mailing list how Microsoft was forcing eBay to remove items from auction if they bore the Microsoft name. According to Microsoft, consumers have no right to sell Microsoft software that they have legally purchased. eBay responded by pulling all auctions for Windows and warning those who had tried to sell it of the legal consequences of software piracy. But this is different. They are pulling auctions for free software. It's because of their "piracy policy." At least that's what they're telling Russ Phillips.
