SCO's legal defeat could have been a tactical regrouping
SCO's refusal to produce details on what code violates its intellectual property has prompted a Utah judge to dismiss the bulk of its legal complaints.
The ruling doesn't wrap up the legal case, but it provides the most convincing evidence yet that SCO's case lacks any foundation.
In summary, SCO claims to own the intellectual copyrights for Unix, and alleges that IBM illegally copied parts of its code to the Linux kernel. IBM in response asked SCO to tell them what code they believe is in violation, and the judge ordered SCO to do so.
