• 03/16/10  Novell files Offer of Proof Re Prior Inconsistent Declaration of Sabbath
  Novell has filed a Notice of Filing of Offer of Proof Regarding Prior Inconsistent Declaration of Steven Sabbath. It is making a record that SCO was allowed to present testimony in direct examination that Novell knew was contradicted by deposition testimony, but then Novell couldn't tell the jury about it, because of rulings by the judge.

  I gather Novell has noticed what you have, that the judge's ruling was not fair to Novell.So they are making a record, listing very thoroughly why the deposition is allowable under the rules, how they would have used it to rebut SCO's witnesses, and precisely how the materials are contradictory. This may be related to the discussion we heard about yesterday, where it was discussed if Ms. Madsen would have to return. It surely will be part of any appeal, should it prove necessary. But the judge can simply change his ruling, solving the issue.  vollständige Meldung

• 03/16/10  Week 2, Day 6 of SCO v. Novell Trial - The Mistrial Motion, Kim Madsen, Steve Sabbath, Darl McBride
  Chris Brown attended the jury trial today for us in SCO v. Novell, and he has the details about the mistrial motion, the denial of the motion to allow evidence, and there was testimony today from Kim Madsen and Darl McBride and a deposition played of Steven Sabbath. The mistrial was related to the denial of Novell's motion to allow evidence. The judge said what SCO told the jury was inappropriate, and he merely warned SCO not to go "close to the line again." I'm sure SCO will mend its ways immediately.  vollständige Meldung
• 03/16/10  Judge Denies 2 Novell Motions: for Mistrial and to Allow Evidence
  It seems Novell moved for mistrial on March 15 at the trial in SCO v. Novell. And there has been a decision on Novell's motion to allow evidence. The docket doesn't yet reflect the order on the motion to allow evidence, but you can see that it happened in this, the full text of the order on the oral motion by Novell for a mistrial:

  This matter is before the Court on Defendant's Motion for Mistrial, made orally on March 15, 2010. For the same reasons stated in denying Defendant's Motion to Allow Evidence Responding to SCO's Allegation that Novell's Slander Continues "To This Very Day," Defendant's Motion for Mistrial is DENIED.

  As soon as we have the order providing "the same reasons, I'll update this article.  vollständige Meldung
• 03/15/10  SCO Responds to Novell's Motion to Allow Evidence
  On Friday, at the trial in SCO v. Novell, SCO told the judge that they'd file their response to Novell's Motion to Allow Evidence on Monday. And so they have:

  Novell seeks to present evidence to the jury in the form of snippets of text selectively lifted from prior judicial opinions in this case. Novell claims these snippets would be used to rebut the factually correct assertion, made in SCO's opening statement and the answer of one witness to a single question, that Novell's claim of ownership of the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights continues to appear on Novell's website "to this very day." As with Novell's previous attempts to introduce such evidence, the Court should reject this attempt to present the jury with judicial statements, not in context, that are not relevant to the claims and defenses presented here, but that would create jury confusion and be highly prejudicial to SCO.

  Wait. That's not how we remember it. We remember SCO saying not just that the claim of *ownership* continued to this day; they said that the *slander* continued to this very day. From the transcript [PDF]:

  So this is a campaign of slander, broadcast and repeated to the world that continues to this very day....

  And to this day Novell, on their web site, continues to republish that slander.

  You gotta watch the Boies Boyz, my friends, with a very close eye. They could talk a bird out of a tree before he realizes there is no worm.  vollständige Meldung
• 03/14/10  Novell's Petition for Writ of Certiorari - as text
  We have Novell's Petition for a Writ of Certiorari [PDF] as text. This is its petition, asking the US Supreme Court to review the decision by the US Court of the Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

  Here are the two orders that the appeals court reviewed, Judge Dale Kimball's August 10, 2007 Memorandum and Order and the November 20, 2008 Final Judgment. Odds are always against the petitioner to the U.S. Supreme Court, of course, and the earliest it could be heard would be in April, we learned from a remark at Friday's trial in SCO v. Novell, so the trial will be over before this is heard, even if it beats the odds. Here are the rules [PDF] of the U.S. Supreme Court, and Rule 10 tells what kinds of cases they are more inclined to accept.

  Nevertheless, it's an important document, because it raises an important question: how should copyright transfers be evidenced? US Copyright law requires a writing, but what should happen if the writing isn't clear about which copyrights, if any, were conveyed? Should it be up to a jury to decide and more or less make it up out of the memories of participants of yore?

  You think I jest. Not at all. That is exactly what is happening in SCO v. Novell currently in the trial. How would you like to have your copyright ownership decided like that? Still want to if the memories relied upon are those of Darl McBride and his friends and allies?  vollständige Meldung
