EE Times -Media company wants SCO-IBM court documents unsealed‘

G2 Computer Intelligence Inc., a small provider of high-tech newsletters, filed a motion Tuesday (Dec. 1) with the Utah district court that’s hearing SCO Group’s lawsuit against IBM, asking the court to unseal any protected documents related to the case.

Citing rights guaranteed to the public under the First Amendment to the Constitution, Federal Common Law, and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, G2 wants the 29 documents sealed as part of SCO’s case made accessible to the public, “unless the parties demonstrate that the release of such documents would cause them specific competitive injury,” the motion states. G2’s argument is that the case is “the subject of intense public interest” because of Linux’s status as the best-known open-source operating system.
