Court dismisses bulk of SCO's DaimlerChrysler lawsuit
Decision is a setback for SCO's licensing campaign
By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service July 21, 2004

The SCO Group has been dealt a setback in its quest to hold customers accountable for its copyright claims. On Wednesday, a Michigan judge granted a motion dismissing all but one of the software vendor's counts in its lawsuit with auto giant DaimlerChrysler, according to DaimlerChrysler spokeswoman Mary Gauthier.

"We are pleased with the judge's ruling and we look forward to finally resolving the one open issue," Gauthier said.

SCO, based in Lindon, Utah, filed the lawsuit in March of this year with the Circuit Court for the County of Oakland, Michigan, claiming that DaimlerChrysler had refused to provide a "certification of compliance" showing that the company continued to abide by a Unix licensing agreement from November 1990.

DaimlerChrysler responded in April, asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit, and claiming that there was "no genuine issue of material fact" in SCO's case.(...)

3. This is great news.

Fuck SCO. I have said that on DU many times and I will say it again. It's a baseless lawsuit that they are using to try to steal money. They don't deserve anything and hopefully they will be put out of their misery soon.

6. The Aftermath

Lots of fun at http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20040722112703777

My favorite: a Seattle (surprise, surprise) newspaper has the following intro to the story:

"A Michigan judge on Wednesday dismissed most parts of a lawsuit that sought to force auto giant DaimlerChrysler AG to comply with copyright laws and software agreements with a Utah-based software company."

I'm surprised they didn't call him an "activist judge". LOL!
