Ahora SCO se luce pidiendo todos los documentos de IBM relacionados con sus contribuciones al kernel 2.7.

¿2.7? ¡No existe! XDDD, y de hecho parece que va a pasar tiempo hasta que se abra una nueva rama, ya que de momento están añadiendo características a la versión 2.6 para evitar que las mejoras y cambios tarden tanto en llegar a la comunidad como con la transición 2.4 -> 2.6.

Groklaw recoge y explica la noticia con gran humor:

The supremely funny SCO Group has now topped even itself. They have asked IBM to turn over “all documents concerning IBM’s contributions to the Linux 2.7 kernel,” including “development work.”

There is no Linux 2.7 kernel.

Please, please, please, let SCO ask the court to sanction IBM for refusing to hand over the 2.7 materials. Pretty please?

Here’s the part the court won’t find funny. As IBM pointed out at the hearing on October 7, the discovery protocol Judge Brooke Wells set forth is supposed to go like this:

• SCO tells IBM what code they believe they have rights to in Linux and how IBM misused it;
• IBM provides discovery regarding that allegedly infringed code.

Here we have SCO asking for materials regarding a nonexistent Linux kernel. On what basis are they making the request? On the basis that they have some information that IBM has infringed their code? Do tell us, SCO, do, what code in Linux 2.7 you have rights to and precisely how IBM has infringed it, won’t you, please? We are all ears. You’ll have to speak up, though, because we are laughing so hard, we won’t be able to hear you if you mumble.
