That Linux lawsuit: 20 years later, SCO vs IBM may finally be ending
Summary
In return, TLD gives up all rights and interests in all litigation claims pending or that may be asserted in the future against IBM and Red Hat, and any allegations that Linux violates SCOs Unix or Unixware intellectual property. Or, as TLDs legal representative, Blank Rome bankruptcy attorney Stanley B. Tarr, put it in a motion, "succeeding on the unfair competition claims will require proving to a jury that events occurring many years ago constituted unfair competition and caused SCO harm. In the US District Court of the Virgin Islands, the company claimed: We heard this song before and we werent impressed the first time. Xinuoss antitrust allegations, brought against IBM and Red Hat, the worlds largest open-source company, similarly defy logic. IBM and Red Hat will aggressively defend the integrity of the open-source development process and the inherent choice, and thus competition, that open source fosters."
