[Am-info] OT: more on the SCO nonsense

[Roy Bixler]

Just in case there are those that still want to follow the SCO vs. IBM
case, I've gathered up some more links on it.  There's been too much
media hype with the innuendo and unsubstantiated allegations, so I'll
confine my links to opinions from people who know something about the
law.

Here is a blog called GROKLAW run by a paralegal:

Here we find out that SCO amended their complaint on the 22nd
of July.  More instances of the word "copyright" appear in the amended
complaint.  IBM plans a formal responce to this amended complaint
soon.

Here are some citations to official SCO/Caldera contributions to the
Linux kernel.

The other link I wanted to point out is an Open Source Development Lab
(the place that currently employs Linus Torvalds) position paper on
the SCO vs. IBM suit.  It is written by Columbia University law
professor Eben Moglen, who is also counsel for the Free Software
Foundation:

for the entire paper.
