Subject: Various new docs at sco.petrofsky.org

Some new docs (of which the proprietors of tuxrocks.com and
groklaw.net have already been notified):

-- Transcripts from the status hearings last Fall in the IBM
case. Nothing all that significant, but kind of amusing
that Wells starts one of the hearings with "I screwed up
that up, didn't I?".

-- SCO's original complaint against IBM. We already have
two versions of this, but I think this is the first one
that's actually signed by SCO's attorney and the clerk of
the state court.

-- The 1911 Certificate of Incorporation of
Computing-Tabulating- Recording Company.

-- The letters attached to SCO's recent memo re:discovery.
These bicker about whether or not IBM can produce AIX 5.0.
While I agree with IBM that AIX 5.0 is irrelevant, I think
they're playing games when they say "IBM does not have in
its possession, custody, or control the source code builds
for AIX 5.0". They may not have a build lying around, but I
can't believe that IBM release engineering is really so
incompetent that they can't easily reproduce the source code
of AIX 5.0.

-- SCO's opening brief for its motion to dismiss the Red Hat
case last Fall. The text of this is at Groklaw, but I don't
think the images had ever shown up anywhere.

-- Yesterday's order in the IBM case. Looks like IBM has
more to say about SCO's dismissal motion.

Subject: Some new/old docs at sco.petrofsky.org

[This is mostly a respost from this morning, but with
more commentary.]

There are some miscellaneous new and old docs that I've put
at sco.petrofsky.org until tuxrocks and groklaw pick them
up:

* Yesterday's order (item 181) in the IBM case, which grants
a stipulation (#179) for various briefing dates. The
interesting bit is that IBM will be allowed to file a
supplemental memo to the memo it filed on May 18 answering
SCO's motion to dismiss or stay the copyright
noninfringement counterclaim. My guess is that IBM wants to
quote some of the doublespeak SCO wrote to the Nevada court
on May 24. (Tuxrocks has this now.)

* The letters attached to SCO's recent memo re:discovery.
These bicker about whether or not IBM can produce AIX 5.0.
While I agree with IBM that AIX 5.0 is irrelevant, I think
they're playing games when they say "IBM does not have in

* SCO's original complaint against IBM. We already have two
versions of this, but I think this is the only one that's
actually signed. (It's signed both by SCO's attorney and by
the clerk of the state court.)

* The 1911 Certificate of Incorporation of the
Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, and certification
that this New York Corporation, now known as IBM, is still a
New Yorker and always has been. This is the oldest document
in the case, and was used to demonstrate that SCO lawyers
had been living in an alternate reality for a long time when
they filed the original suit in state rather than federal
court on the basis that Caldera and IBM were allegedly both
incorporated in the same state, Delaware.

Subject: A SCO scorecard at sco.petrofsky.org

I've put a table at sco.petrofsky.org/scorecard.html of all
the claims, in chronological order, made by and against SCO
in lawsuits arising from the SCOsource initiative. I intend
to keep this up-to-date as an at-a-glance status check.

If you link to it, please be sure to use the
sco.petrofsky.org/scorecard.html address, and not the
berkeley.edu address to which it currently redirects (the
redirection is highly subject to change).

Subject: Much improved SCO scorecard

At sco.petrofsky.org/scorecard.html you can find a table of
the 35 claims and counterclaims in SCO's five
SCOsource-related lawsuits. Each row includes all the basic
particulars of the claim, notes the claim's status, trial
date, and the date of any upcoming hearing, and includes
numerous links to the pertinent court filings.

I intend to keep this up-to-date for both at-a-glance status
checks and for quickly finding most court documents. (It's
much less comprehensive than tuxrocks, but it's intended as
a handy index to a portion of tuxrocks.)

(Both style and content are *much* improved from the first
stab I took at this last week.)
