1. Last month in court, SCO's lawyer: "I will proffer to the Court that we are filing a second amended complaint that has copyright infringement claims, and will be filed within the coming few days or no less than a week. And we'll put then fully in front of the Court the three buckets we have outlined here, contract, trade secrets and copyright." 2. But now: Monday's response included no examples of copyright violations, Stowell said. "We've not introduced copyright infringement as part of our case with IBM. We've tried to make it clear that it's a contract issue." http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/13/HNscoshowscode_1.html They have made various claims here in Australia too. I'm writing to various government authorities to try to start a fraud investigation. gtoomey

SCO Group was Caldera. You might have called them SCO initially (along with everyone else) but the company name was the Santa Cruz Operation which is not the SCO that everyone talks about today.

No. That's a different company, different product. Originally the Unix products and the Tarantella product were owned by SCO. When the Caldera thing happened, briefly "SCO" disappeared, and http://www.sco.com would take you to what is now http://www.tarantella.com/ However, Caldera took back the SCO name and http://www.sco.com and are using "SCO Group" and "SCO" just as they were before all this. "SCO" is Unix products. Tarantella is a competitor to Citrix, etc. -- tony@aplawrence.com Unix/Linux/Mac OS X resources: http://aplawrence.com Get paid for writing about tech: http://aplawrence.com/publish.html

Who is the party to the action in which those statements were made? What is said in a Court of Law is absolutely privileged, and can't be sued on. If SCO made the claims, and SCO as a company no longer exists, its successor may have inherited the right to sue, but not the liabilities. Certainly there is no inheritance of criminal liability.

> > "SCO" is Unix products. Tarantella is a competitor to Citrix, etc. well more clearly, SCO produces SCO unix operating systems - unixware and openserver (the old SCO unix), and some extensions that are closer to operating system than 'independant applications'. Tarantella produce applications to support Microsoft systems ... for various unix platforms.

Well you might identify the people as that. But the products they produce tell a different story. Well SCO now produces openserver and unixware - showing the merge of Caldera and the old SCO. While Tarantella is a spin off of SCO - it is just *producing* the applications - not the same as SCO at all. If we follow where people move, does that mean we have to rename Coca Cola to Pepsi when the CEO of Pepsi changes job to become CEO of Coca Cola ? well no. We'd best identfy the 'factory' not the people if identifying the people fail to tell us anything about the product. In the case of software, the factory is the source code. The source code is called SCO. So the product is also called SCO. SCO is an operating system. To say Tarantella is close to being SCO is strange.- Tarantella dont *Produce* an operating system. They may well be selling OS's, or the labour associated with installing and maintaing OS's but they dont produce an OS. They produce applications. > >

Now having said that, way back when the changes happened, the then Santa Cruz Operation SOLD all of their UNIX technologies to Caldera. Now, not talking about the products which is SCO Unix that was sold to Caldera. SCO which everyone knows was in fact, the Santa Cruz Operation, which became Tarantella. And Caldera International became the SCO Group which sells the SCO range of products. So technically, there was no merger. So SCO now does exist as the SCO Group, but the old SCO (Santa Cruz Operation) does still exist Tarantella.

There'll be no fucking about with them, as SCO are sure to find out.
