Disputed SCO Code Won't Be Made Public







Disputed SCO Code Won't Be Made Public

Disputed SCO Code Won't Be Made Public 12/16/2003 12:31 PM

I'm sure all of the many many sites focusing on the SCO lawsuit will have more thoughts on this, but the latest news is that, despite an original ruling saying that SCO needed to make the disputed code public, SCO has now convinced the judge that they should o nly present the "evidence" of infringement to the judge, jury and IBM. This means that the open source crew, who have been doing an excellent job picking apart each sample of "infringing" code that SCO has shown so far won't have the ability to go through the rest. The reasoning, of course, from SCO's point of view is that opening up their source code to the public means that it will never get to put it back in the genie bottle. However, that makes no sense. If the entire claim is that this code was taken out of SCO's source code and put into Linux, then the code is already public. Displaying it again does nothing to lessen SCO's control over the code if it really is already out there. The only thing it really does (and the real reason SCO wants to do it this way) is make it more difficult for IBM to go through the code and figure out if (as has been the case so far) SCO is wrong in their claims. This is not a surprise, of course, as SCO has done everything possible to make the process as difficult on everyone else - including the news last week that they delivered the "infringing source code" to IBM on a million sheets of paper. You get the feeling, sometimes, that SCO believes this is all a big game. They're acting like the bratty first-grader who insists on some sort of strict interpretation of what he's been told just for the sake of annoying everyone around him.
