Did scox ever believe that they owned JFS, RCU, NUMA? Did scox ever believe that they owned sysV? Did scox actually feel that they were wronged by IBM? Or, is the entire thing just a total scam beginning to end?
Personally, I'm willing to believe the lawsuit was only a partial scam at the beginning. I think scox may have felt wronged by IBM, Darl may have actually believed that scox owned sysV, he may still believe that. The execs who launched this scam-lawsuit don't know anything about how software is developed, maybe they actually believed something about their derivitive works theory?
I'm also very willing to believe that scox knew right from the begining that they had no case at all. The case was not designed to won, but to harass.
