SCO lawyer Mark Heise of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP says IBM's defense is so thin and "boilerplate" that he's "still waiting for them to file it." He calls the preamble a "press release."
[...] Heise says that IBM could have asked the court for more detail, but chose not to, contending that the substance-less nature of IBM's reply was less a matter of IBM's unwillingness to show its hand than it was a matter of having nothing in it.
[...] "I'm ready to throw my 25-30 pages of details on the table," Heise claimed. He has previously said the SCO suit lacked facts on purpose to play cat and mouse with IBM.-- Mark Heise, 2003-05-05
