Timeline of Xinuos Litigation1. Mar 2019. Xinuos claims to have discovered copyright infringements by IBM. In one place Xinuos said it had been "... provided a significant amount of information ..."; in another place it said it had "... discovered certain IBM product documentation ..." that revealed the copied code. Whatever. 2. Mar 26, 2019. Xinuos sends shakedown letter to IBM. Includes link to Ebel's opinion of Jan 2018. Alleges copyright violations based on OpenServer 5 and System V code. OpenServer 5 violations are derived, and in some cases are copied verbatim, from the AutoZone amended complaint. The System V violations are, in part, taken verbatim from Darl McBride's presentation at the July 21, 2003 conference call, David Boies in attendance. 3. July 7, 2019. Darl McBride revives website darlmcbride.com Includes link to Ebel's opinion of Jan 2018. Compiles list of quotes from mutliple articles from 16 years ago, including Forbes - "But you haven't heard the last of McBride or his dream". Darl's website is powered by "Millionize" Darl McBride announces that book Snake Oil is coming in 2020 4. July 9, 2019. IBM closes on acquisition of Red Hat. 5. Aug 2020. Xinuos files opyright registrations for Gemini 64 and Monterey 6. Sep 2020. Ex-Cravath DIP Lenders show up in SCOBK. 7. End 2020 or thereabouts. Another rework of darlmcbride.com. Darl McBride now announces that the book Snake Oil is coming in 2021. Darl's website is now powered by "Zero Zoos." Guess "millionize" was too pricey for Darl's budget. 8. Mar 31, 2021. Xinuos files lawsuit against IBM. In classic SCO fashion, all of the alleged copyright violations listed in the shakedown letter have been dropped and replaced with a completely new set of allegations of copyright violations, this time based on UnixWare 7 and the Monterey code. Allegations are, in part, taken verbatim from SCO's attempted Third Amended Complaint against IBM, which Kimball had tossed and Ebel had grudgingly upheld. |
