Here we go. The Declaration of Kenneth Brakebill [PDF] in support of Novell's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on its Fourth Claim for Relief, listing all the exhibits and what they are, as text. Hopefully this will help us to keep them straight. I've put links to the exhibits in the text of the document, which is obviously a change from the original filing, so be aware of that. It seemed worthwhile to make it easier to figure it all out. From that standpoint, you'll find the following exhibits online or as text on Groklaw, and I think you'll find it a lot easier than opening the PDFs and trying to work from them, since they are bunched up together in attachments, but remember that only the PDFs themselves are for sure what was filed. I am providing the text mainly for convenience and to help us to parse out what is new by noticing what isn't in text already on our Contracts page (some are sealed, and some we have only as PDFs). You can choose for yourself which way you'd like to view the exhibits. I noticed a number of comments on the last article asking why Novell didn't do this long ago. If you carefully read the list of exhibits, you'll find several described as "as produced by SCO in this litigation". That means that Novell didn't have those documents until SCO produced them in the discovery process, which didn't begin in true earnest until various Novell motions were decided. So that's your answer. Remember, in a court of law, you have to actually prove everything, if you wish to win. That, of course, is precisely SCO's difficulty.
Here are the exhibits that we already have as text or are available from the SEC's website [update: go here for the exhibits as filed, as this list was only intended as a list to use until we had the exhibits uploaded; it matters in that the APA as filed by Novell is complete, and the one we had already, here linked, is not]: -
Exhibit 1, the Asset Purchase Agreement between Novell and Santa Cruz.
- Exhibit 3 as text, Amendment 1 to the APA.
- Exhibt 4, Amendment 2 to the APA.
- Exhibit 5, IBM Software Agreement (SOFT-00015). [NOTE: the Exhibit PDF attached to Brakebill's Declaration has the supplements 1-3 and the Schedule for UNIX System V, Release 2.0 vs.1 and UNIX System V, Release 2.0 vs.1 International.]
- Exhibit 6, IBM Sublicensing Agreement.
- Exhibit 8, Feb. 1, 1985 IBM Side Letter.
- Exhibit 9, the April 1986 Supplement to the IBM Software Agreement. [Note that this exhibit seems to have gone walkabout, as it's not listed on the Pacer list. It likely means it was attached to some sealed exhibits.]
- Exhibt 13, Amendment X.
- Exhibit 23, the SCO Annual Report, Form 10-K, for the year ended 2003.
- Exhibit 24 Letter from SCO to Novell, May 12, 2003.
- Exhibit 27 Letter from Novell to SCO June 9, 2003.
- Exhibit 28 Letter from SCO to Novell June 11, 2003.
- Exhibit 30 letter from Novell to SCO, June 12, 2003.
- Exhibit 312nd Letter from Novell to SCO dated June 12, 2003.
- Exhibit 33 Letter from Novell to SCO, October 7, 2003.
- Exhibit 34 Letter from Novell to SCO, October 9, 2003.
- Exhibit 35 Letter from Novell to SCO, October 10, 2003.
- Exhibit 36 Letter from Novell to SCO, October 13, 2003.
- Exhibit 42 Caldera Annual Report, Form 10-K, for the year ended 2002.
I've also marked the sealed exhibits, so you don't waste time hunting for them. I'm working faster than usual, because there are so many filings recently, so if you find errors, please let me know so I can perfect it.
I'll have the Memorandum in Support for you next. If anyone is feeling ambitious, and would like to separate out the exhibits so they are individually available, I'm happy to put them up. *****************************
