9. 8/20/04 IBM Sealed Declaration of Brian W. Kernighan

Wow, a declaration from Kernighan! I'd love to read that.

(He is one of the 2 "inventors" of the C language, the K of the K&R duo, which is still often referred to but which may sound very mysterious to the uninitiated)

(and it is still "written", not "authored")

It's great that some documents will be unsealed
(the more the better). But it's bad if this
delays the case even more ...

Can someone tell or remind me why we have this
sudden move to unseal the documents. Was this
an IBM initiative, or from the Judge himself
(or SCO even)?

Assuming the extra delay is not extreme, we should
thank whoever is responsible I guess ...

Unsealing the Transcript?
Authored by: rsteinmetz70112 on Wednesday, June 01 2005 @ 04:10 PM EDT
I wonder if Judge Kimball is going to have Judge Wells redact the transcript of
the hearing she sealed?

Based on the reports of the people actually there it seemed to me that very
little of the hearing really needs to be redacted, only those portions which
quote the disputed document or specifically describe it's contents.

Perhaps one of the attendees can comment on my understanding and how difficult
it would be to redact the transcript.
