SCO v. IBM

Message ID: 22245 Posted By: heimdal31 Posted On: 2003-07-30 11:21:00 Subject: SCO has no AIX audit rights Recs: 1 Our friend Darl was certainly splashing around the "we are going to audit IBM's customers" claim. As many here have pointed out, that hasn't happened. In fact, dear Darl wasn't exactly being honest when he said they had the right to do that. The audit rights are based on the AT&T and SCO contracts with IBM. Those contracts do give the right to audit, but it is the right to audit the source code only that they licensed to IBM. In fact, the original AT&T language that granted IBM the right to sublicense the source code made it clear that IBM wanted that right hardware manufacturers making hardware to work under AIX. So, according to the contracts (remember, that's the thing that lets you attack business partners), SCO can audit the people making drivers for AIX. That's about it. -----------------------------...

However, in the one for Friday the 13th, notice box 15. This shows how much stock the person owns after completing the transaction. He purchased 7003 shares and owns 15003. If he purchased 200,000 in March, what happened to them. If I'm reading this right, he must have sold them and filed some Form 4s. However, they must not have made it through whatever process it takes to get them electronically posted on EDGAR yet. Note that the 6/13 filing from McBride for the 7003 shares only showed up this morning. Also, look at a 5 day intraday trade chart for SCOX and notice the huge volume trades occurring on Friday and Monday. Some individual trades on Friday appear to have approached 100K. Total volume for Friday was 2 Million! Lots of people unloaded lots of SCOX stock on Friday and Monday. And t...
