The final order implementing the judgement isn't out yet so I'm not going to go into too much detail here as yet, but there's additional publicly available information I can share:

The original claim: https://codon.org.uk/~mjg59/case/Claims.pdf

The defence and counterclaim: https://codon.org.uk/~mjg59/case/Defence_Counterclaim.pdf

The associated schedule of harassment: https://codon.org.uk/~mjg59/case/Schedule.pdf

The reply to the defence and counterclaim: https://codon.org.uk/~mjg59/case/Reply.pdf



One thing that didn't end up happening - the claim that he would have multiple people, including Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce Perens, and John Gilmore testify against me.


Do lawsuits ever really end, or do the parties just run out of money? Isn’t the SCO v. Linux thing still shambling on in some court?


Other than reaching agreement over the order to implement the judgement, this is likely over - my understanding is that an appeal could only occur if the judge made an error of law, and they would need to convince another judge of this before being granted permission to appeal.


What about the fact that - incredibly - the page defaming you is still up on their website? Surely the judge won't take kindly to that?


As of yet there isn't an order associated with the judgement - that's expected to be something negotiated between the parties. I'm unqualified to say what impact continuing to publish the material has on that process.


I think Jarndyce v Jarndyce is still going as well.
