Why IBM won’t settle or buy out SCO
Over on GrokLaw, A. Nony Mouse left an insightful comment on why IBM has been handling the SCO case as it has.
To sum up: IBM values its Intellectual Property portfolio above all else, and therefore values everyone else’s almost as highly. To be accused of plundering someone else’s IP is therefore an attack on the very foundations of the company, and will be defended against with every resource at their disposal.
It’s a good thing for Utah that IBM doesn’t have tac nukes at their disposal…
