IBM goes for the jugular in SCO case...

IBM has amended it's counterclaims in the SCO case... suprisingly groklaw doesn't seem to have anything on this yet. C|Net is on the beat and has the scoop ("IBM seeks copyright judgment against SCO"). Here's the text of the new counterclaim (they dropped the claim on patent no. 4,821,211).

"IBM does not infringe, induce the infringement of or contribute to the infringement of any SCO copyright through its Linux activities, including its use, reproduction and improvement of Linux, and that some or all of SCO's purported copyrights in Unix are invalid and unenforceable."

Bonus: Here are the other IBM patents... which you can enter into google with the word "patent" to do a USPTO lookup! (4,814,746, 4,821,211, 4,953,209, 5,805,785)
