It's a no show for the proSCO.com website...

Infoworld reports that SCO's briefly planned foray into Groklaw territory announced last month has been put on the back burner.

The Unix company's proSCO.com site was to be SCO's touché to the Groklaw site, which launched last year and painstakingly analysed every crumb of detail on the ongoing litigation between SCO and IBM and Novell.

But the website destined to put SCO's side to the story is on hold. A spokesperson for the company told Infoworld that there were legal and management concerns over the content of the site, and that discussions continued as to whether to publish such a site at all.

The spokesperson also said that the proSCO domain, originally championed by SCO CEO Darl McBride at last month's Etre conference in Cannes, had been dropped. The name was simply too partisan in comparison to what the company has now plumped for in SCOinfo.com.

proSCO.com remains unregistered, whereas SCOinfo.com has a holding page, describing the site as 'The right place for SCO Intellectual Property Information'.
