My concern is not whether it's genuine--I'm
convinced it is. My
concern is more whether SCO's apparently bone-headed lawyers will
believe it's genuine.
Taking the devil's advocate position, if my lawyers were convinced
that I'm made a particular statement, based solely on a piece of
e-mail given to them by my competition, I'd be in the market for
some new lawyers.
Whilst you
could probably prove the authenticity of the e-mail, this
would cost real money - and SCO probably can afford to spend a lot
more money than you can.
It's not clear how much money SCO has. I am very sure that IBM has not put any UNIX code into
Linux.
I'd be very surprised at this as well. It would open a legal minefield.
