Why Stowell talks about a jury is a mystery since many watchers believe this case will be thrown out soon.

Many of those who saw SCO Group's NDA show have recanted their earlier statements of "SCO looks like it has a case".

Didio, for example, went from saying "SCO has a strong case" at that time, to more recently saying "SCO has a right to bring a lawsuit."

Similarly, Gartner's Weiss previously wrote "it will not hurt to call SCO Group and talk about your infrastructure" to now writing "do not talk to SCOG. Do not let SCOG know about your Linux deployments unless they show up with a search warrant or court order".

Aside from talking about a jury,
Stowell's comments are completely false.

All code that is already public (all code in Linux) that SCO submits under the existing protective order can be made public.

The only code that SCO Group will be able keep secret is code that has not already been made public, if SCO Group presents any such.
