IBM and Novell have each filed motions in the SCO bankruptcy to convert the SCO Chapter 11 cases to Chapter 7. That makes three such motions. Here's the US Trustee's motion, if you are new. We're working on text versions. Keep in mind these are motions, not yet granted, and SCO can file objections and/or can still file a plan to try to abort the motions if anyone wishes to give them a truckload of money. Anyone?

Update: This is new: a list [PDF] attached to IBM's filing, of all the equity security holders of SCO Group.

Here's the rule on notices to equity security holders, and you can discern from reading it carefully that this may not be a complete or current list. You can compare it with the list [PDF] SCO filed at the beginning of this Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2007.

Here are the filings:
