IR IV SCOX 40009 by El Corton       ... on the grounds that the insinuations SCOX has made about Linux are at the heart of MS's motive for "buying a license". And the other cases are a direct result and material evidence of SCOX's FUD campaign.     If MS was buying a license for the purpose of FUDding Linux then they were buying a license for the express purpose of forwarding SCOX's FUD it was a license "for" what SCOX was asserting - that Linux infringed upon "SCO's" UNIX IP ... and all of the remaining material in SCO v IBM (that I know of) comes from SysV - often indirectly, but it is SCOX itself who asserted that these those lines were SysV derivative -     In short those other lawsuits and the material surrounding them are EXACTLY what MS was buying ... and it - by SCOX's own statements - was all about SysV.     Now I'm sure that the written contracts don't say anything about buying FUD, but WE all know that that's what MS was buying. And it is SysV FUD.     Of course if the written contracts have enough reference to SysV, Novell may just as well let this slide, but I'd love to see this testimony raised in court.     And of course, I have no standing to raise an objection...       -- TWZ
