Novell's Daubert Motions: We Finally Get to Read 3 of SCO's Experts' Reports

We finally get to read SCO's experts' reports, three of them, the ones from Dr. Christine A. Botosan, Dr. Gary Pisano, and G. Gervaise Davis III, because Novell has attached them as Exhibit A to each memorandum in support of their three motions for Daubert hearings, seeking to disqualify each expert's testimony. I say finally because the reports were written in 2007. Haven't I always told you that sooner or later, it all comes to light? It's what I love about litigation.
I don't know if I should describe the reports as absurdly fascinating or fascinatingly absurd. Their version of UNIX history and the history of SCO's litigation is an alternate universe far from any I know or think of as reality. If I may paraphrase the first Magistrate Judge in the SCO v. IBM litigation so many years ago, is this all SCO's got?

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [-N nr-of-inodes] [-V volume-name] [-F fsname] device [size-in-blocks] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used. OPTIONS
-N Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. -V volume-label Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used. -F fsname Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used. -v Be verbose. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong. SEE ALSO
mkfs(8). AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. Util-linux 2.9x 12 Sept 1999 MKFS.BFS(8)
