In an interview today with Linux-Watch, SCO CEO Darl McBride said that his company's primary attorneys, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, are indeed trying to serve a subpoena for a deposition on Pamela Jones, the editor of, Groklaw, the legal IT news site. McBride said that the idea for serving Jones came from the law-firm. "It's my understanding that she has some material of importance to our slander of title case with Novell. I don't know the exact details." This case sprang from Novell's contention that it, and not SCO, owns Unix's IP (intellectual property) rights. Novell claims that neither the APA (asset purchase agreement) of Sept. 19, 1995, which transferred Unix and UnixWare to Santa Cruz Operations, nor Amendment 2 to the APA gave SCO any copyrights to Unix. If Novell wins this point in Federal Court, then SCO's case against IBM for placing Unix IP code into Linux falls apart like a house of cards with the bottom card knocked out. Read more: |
