[News] PJ: SCO Still Matters

Note from News Picks:

,----[ Quote ]
| [PJ: Linux-watch is saying that SCO "no longer matters" so they won't cover 
| the story any more. It's "old news". For example, they covered the
| news about SCO filing a claim for spoliation back when it happened. But
| if you read that report, it's all SCO's claims. IBM doesn't respond with
| its side. So, now that IBM finally gets to answer the claim, suddenly
| it's not news worth covering? The media was all over SCO's phony bogo
| claims. Steven Vaughan Nichols was one of the few who actually went to
| the trouble of finding experts to provide opposing views and some
| balance, but now that IBM finally gets to speak, after years of silence,
| he doesn't feel it's worth covering on a site called Linux-watch?  Hey,
| Steven, we're just getting started. This is the fun part, the part where
| SCO finally gets to reap what it sowed. And you may not have noticed,
| but we've just begun "SCO2, Deja Vu" with the Novell-Microsoft patent
| "agreement", which I consider an outgrowth of the SCO saga.  Seriously,
| the media, in my view, has a responsibility to undo some of the damage
| that was done to IBM, to Novell, to AutoZone, to DaimlerChrysler, to
| Linus' good name, to mine, and to Linux. You were all there for the
| juicy accusations that did the damage. You have an obligation, both
| legal and moral, in my view, to chronicle the truth now coming out, so
| as to undo at least some of the damage that the media in general helped
| SCO to cause. I believe that is standard procedure in any case involving
| libel, to make sure the correction is also fairly reported. But thank
| you, Steven, for saying such nice things about Groklaw.]
