secret evidence is no help 08 August 2009 03:44
Even if there were some secret evidence ...
there is no way that secret evidence can help SCOG win anything now.
For evidence to be admissible, it must be presented to the
court and opposing council in a timely fashion. Many deadlines
have passed for presenting evidence. SCOG had plenty of opportunity.
The plain record of everything presented so far in both SCOG v IBM
and SCOG v Novell shows that SCOG has about as much chance as all
the air molecules in a room, rushing to one corner and staying there.
While Darl whines about wanting his day in court, the fact is, had
SCOG not filed for bankruptcy, both these cases would be over by
now. SCOG has time and again always sought delay and delay and
delay. Darl has delusions and seemingly never actually has
understood what the business of the company he ran was.
There were two aspects. One was collecting license fees for
various Unix users, forwarding 100% of these to Novell and then
getting back 5% for acting as an agent of Novell in this matter.
The other aspect was that SCOG had their own version of
Unix (like how IBM has theirs, or SUN, or HP or etc etc etc)
which SCOG could sell to their direct end-users.
SCOG could not afford to actually pay for all of Unix and
SCOG has never actually owned all of Unix. Darl just doesn't
seem to understand this.
