Today We Are Five and What Happened at the Summary Judgment Hearing April 30

By Pamela Jones et al.

Today is our anniversary, guys. Unbelievably, Groklaw is five years old today. And we're still standing, still here, still working together. I know. Amazing. Who knew we'd still be together after five years?

We have the transcript of the summary judgment motions that were argued on April 30th, in the middle of the SCO v. Novell trial. But there's an odd notice on the Docket list. We actually have had the transcript for a couple of days, but there is this notice on the court's docket:

**RESTRICTED DOCUMENT** TRANSCRIPT of Proceedings held on April 30, 2008-Motion for Summary Judgment before Judge Dale A. Kimball. Court Reporter/Transcriber Laura W. Robinson, CSR, RPR, CP, [Telephone number].

NOTICE RE REDACTION OF TRANSCRIPTS: Within 7 calendar days of this filing, each party shall inform the Court, by filing a Notice of Intent to Redact, of the parties intent to redact personal data identifiers from the electronic transcript of the court proceeding. The policy and forms are located on the court's website at www.utd.uscourts.gov. Please read this policy carefully. If no Notice of Intent to Redact is filed within the allotted time, this transcript will be made electronically available on the date set forth below. Transcript may be viewed at the court public terminal or purchased through the Court Reporter/Transcriber before the deadline for Release of Transcript Restriction. After that date it may be obtained through PACER. Redaction Request due 6/4/2008. Redacted Transcript Deadline set for 6/16/2008. Release of Transcript Restriction set for 8/12/2008. (jmr)

So that is the holdup. I'm trying to find out if we can publish the version we purchased. I think the notice is something Utah does for all transcripts now, and I see nothing in the transcript that would qualify as something secret. But out of respect, I'm waiting until I can make sure. However, while we wait, there is nothing stopping me from telling you what I read, and once the ban is lifted, I'll provide the PDF.
