SCO Begs the Court for More AIX Code

The latest from Groklaw has some insite on SCO's latest motion in the SCO vs. IBM case. My favorite part is this:

SCO writes that they need IBM to hand these things over because IBM "appears to assert that to establish IBM's breach of the Agreement at issue, SCO requires specific evidence of derivation from UNIX System V lines of code through the versions of AIX and Dynix code to Linux."

Basically, they don't have anything, and this whole lawsuite has been to see if they could get something from IBM. Which goes back to what everyone was saying in the beginning. SCO has NOTHING, they started the lawsuit most likely to be bought out, and since it didn't happen, they started playing a "high-stakes poker game, with lousy cards, but pretending to hold Aces, only now it's time to show their cards", I couldn't agree more with that statement.

Anyway... this all really still urks me, because it seems like its getting so close to an end... but the dumb factor keeps getting worse.
