A Flurry of Project Monterey Press Releases from 1998-1999

By Pamela Jones et al.

In connection with completing our records on Groklaw, we've set up a permanent page for our coverage of Project Monterey, a major theme in the SCO v. IBM litigation. Here are some press releases to add to our collection, which confirm all that we already knew or suspected about Project Monterey.

Why does it matter now? Because eventually, the SCO v. IBM litigation will ramp up again, after the SCO bankruptcy is over, and SCO claims that some of its Project Monterey claims survived the decision in SCO v. Novell that Novell retained the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights in the Novell/Santa Cruz deal in 1995. IBM denies that any of SCO's Project Monterey claims survive. You can fully trace both sides' positions on our new permanent Project Monterey page. It's also worth doing so as to complete and preserve the historical record, which has already partially 'disappeared'.
