SCO v IBM judge asks for evidence

SCO look to have got on the wrong side of the federal judge hearing their case against IBM. U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball said yesterday:

"Despite the vast disparity between SCO's public accusations and its actual evidence--or complete lack thereof--and the resulting temptation to grant IBM's motion, the court has determined that it would be premature to grant summary judgment...Viewed against the backdrop of SCO's plethora of public statements concerning IBM's and others' infringement of SCO's purported copyrights to the Unix software, it is astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence to create a disputed fact regarding whether IBM has infringed SCO's alleged copyrights through IBM's Linux activities."

Do you get the impression he thinks SCO are wasting everyone's time and energy?
