SCO to request more IBM code

The SCO Group filed a memorandum Friday in its lawsuit against IBM that indicates it needs more Unix code from IBM to detail its claims that Big Blue violated a contract between the two companies. IBM has provided SCO with some of the source code from its AIX and Dynix/ptx versions of Unix, but SCO now is requesting the source code underlying all intermediate versions of the software and the accompanying comments, logs and files from corporate programming tools.

In the case, SCO is alleging that IBM breached its contract with SCO by moving proprietary Unix technology into open-source Linux. The memo Friday indicates that SCO likely will ask the judge in the U.S. District Court in Utah to compel IBM to release more information, SCO spokesman Blake Stowell said Thursday.

SCO keeps asking for more and more. Why are they doing this? I am seeing that all they are doing is asking for more so they can back down and then make there product as popular as anything IBM has helped in. Or they are going to have some programmer locked in a room, adding this code to their current code to try and present it back to the courts as IBM taking there code.

Nice try SCO, your game is over, you lose. Do not pass go! Leave IBM alone, they will win, they have the money, AND the time necessary to beat you at your petty squabble. You only wish that you could present a strong enough case with no evidence. Try harder before you come up against IBM next time.

this issue has gone out of line. If IBM gives them more source code then SCO is just going to make up some source code and sit there and point and say...hey you see this it matchs...well that match they just made last week...

Well you know something else...im still waiting for SCO to show some sort of claim. Either they are sitting on there ***** laughing there butts off at the judges because htey are making poor ass deciscions here....

Can the case be freaking dismissed for stupidity upon SCO part?? is that possible?
