Judge Campbell Rules: IBM Stays on Hold; SCO Loses Again

Judge Campbell Rules: IBM Stays on Hold; SCO Loses Again

Judge Tena Campbell has today ruled against SCO, who had asked to go forward against IBM in SCO v. IBM, without letting IBM go forward on its most significant claims. "The court declines," her order says, to reopen anything now, because too much depends on what happens in SCO v. Novell, and it doesn't make sense to divide the two cases. Until the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit rules on SCO's recently filed appeal of its loss in SCO v. Novell, therefore, the SCO v. IBM case stays closed.
