Hi Dave, Declan,

Much news on the SCO v. IBM front.  SCO has been ordered to produce
evidence (code) within 30 days and all other document discovery has
been suspended until they do.

Another notable development as determined from a transcript[1] from a
Groklaw volunteer attendee (Cody) at today's hearing is that SCO will
"be filing a copyright infringement case in a few weeks."

Oh, Yeah... almost forgot... Do any of the lawyers out there find it
strange that SCO's legal team, Boies and Schiller LLP, now own 3% of
SCO and are set to receive 20% of the proceeds from the settlement or
of 'a sale of SCO during the pendancy of litigation'?[2]
