SCO v. Novell - The March 25, 2010 Jury Instructions Conference Now Unsealed

This is fun. The court has now unsealed the jury instruction conference [PDF] between the parties in SCO v. Novell and the presiding judge, the Hon. Ted Stewart. This took place on March 25, 2010, but it was under seal at first, and what's fun about it is that the jury isn't listening, so they tell each other rather more plainly what they really think. They are trying to agree on what the jury should be instructed on various legal issues, so the jury knows how to weigh evidence and such.
For example, beginning on page 22, Morrison & Foerster's Michael A. Jacobs, for Novell, tells us what he thinks of SCO's story, here represented by Boies Schiller's Ted Normand, about rogue lawyers writing the APA differently than they were supposed to. He calls it a "bizarre" legal theory.

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
