SCO takes Linux battle to the next stage

The SCO Group will next week hand over further evidence to IBM in the next stage of its $3bn Linux legal battle.

SCO has confirmed that its lawyers will provide IBM with the additional evidence it has requested on 12 January, in keeping with the deadline set by a
judge.

This will be followed by a hearing in Salt Lake City on 23 January, when the judge is expected to ask IBM whether it has received everything needed.

Blake Stowell, SCO’s director of public relations, told vnunet.com: “SCO will then have the opportunity to request of the judge that she compel IBM
[to] provide us with the evidence that SCO has requested but not yet received from IBM.”
