Groklaw: Sept. 14 Hearing in SCO v. IBM Moved to Oct. 19 at 10 AM

"Judge Brooke Wells has ordered that the hearing on SCO's motion on discovery, set for the 14th of September be postponed, in response to a request from IBM. They asked for and got an order granting them an opportunity to respond to SCO's Supplemental Memorandum Re Discovery. That means that IBM has its hearing on the 15th on its counterclaims, and then SCO must wait until October for its motion to be heard. They would keep filing more memoranda.

"Not to fear, SCO lovers. SCO has also filed a motion to extend their time to file a response to IBM's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Breach of Contract Claims and IBM's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on its Counterclaim for Copyright Infringement. If they're lucky, that will be granted and then the hearing on those matters will be postponed too, and this could all go on for 25,000 more man-years. Our great grandchildren will attend those hearings. If so, ask them to send my greatgrandchildren a report, will you? Put it in your will or something that they contribute to Groklaw V--The Empire Strikes Back? And may the force be with them..."
