Here are the subpoenas to Microsoft, Sun, HP and Baystar, attached to IBM's Notice of Service of Subpoenas Duces Tecum , as text. Thanks go to Steven J. Lilley, Bernhard Nortmann, Joachim Durchholz, ethericalzen, gumnos, brooker, and Auke Jan Kroon for doing the transcribing. The story has hit the media. Let's take a look at a few reactions, including from Microsoft and SCO. It seems they barely know each other, to hear them tell it.
Q: Is it fair to ask why this SCO case is still around? The Seattle Post Intelligencer's Todd Bishop got a reaction from Microsoft: Jack Evans, a Microsoft spokesman, said the company had not received IBM's subpoena as of Wednesday evening. However, he said, Microsoft is "not involved in any way" with SCO's legal action against IBM. Well. Could be. That's their story, and they're sticking to it. Then again, those of us following along closely noted that at the December 20th hearing, we found out that IBM learned when deposing SCO CEO Darl McBride recently that there have been a lot of emails between Darl and Microsoft people, discussing of all things Linux, emails SCO's attorneys had not turned over in discovery, so it wouldn't amaze me if IBM would like to know a bit more about all that. Matt Whipp in PCPro adds this question to the mix: The depositions set for next month will reveal exactly what was going on. That's a good question, as in how come Sun can distribute Linux, which it did, with all the allegedly misused materials in it and SCO didn't lift a finger? As for answers, it may not be so simple. As Carey points out in his interview, we may see some pushback from the subpoenaed parties. Blake Stowell puts the SCO spin on the events, interviewed by K.C. Jones of Tech Web: SCO spokesman Blake Stowell said the subpoenas are a normal part of the discovery process. Yes. I'm sure that's the very first word you think of when you think of SCO. "Open". So you can follow along and check the originals, here are the PDFs: One thing I notice is that Microsoft is being asked for all documents "concerning communications or agreements relating to SCO or this litigation, including all communications with... Canopy..." That would likely mean old Canopy, in effect, back when Ralph Yarro was running it. Update: Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols at Linux-Watch tried to get reactions from both Sun and Microsoft: Sun spokesperson Joanne Kisling said that the company would have no comment on the subpoenas that were handed to it by IBM on Tuesday as part of the SCO Group lawsuit against Big Blue.
