It is a bit like one of those old horror films where the hero keeps killing the
monster, only for it to be waiting when he opens th closet door.
Well, perhaps Cravath can finally put a stake through SCO's heart.[ Reply to This | # ]

The corrections thread must have 'corrections' in the title
properly spelled. You can have as much fun in the body of
the post starting the corrections thread as you like, but
it is important that the title of the thread starter have
'corrections' properly spelled in it.
Thanks[ Reply to This | # ]

On November 4, 2011, SCO filed its Motion to Reopen the Case
(Docket No. 1095) in order to proceed with its remaining unfair competition and
tortious interference claims. Those claims, which the Chapter 11 Trustee
overseeing SCO’s bankruptcy estate deems meritorious, are the only remaining
assets of the estate.
So it's official; TSG Group
acknowledges in open court that their only viable product is
litigation.
Someone please remind me why they still enjoy Chapter 11
protection from their creditors.

SCOG writes ...
"IBM argued for an order “providing that this case shall be reopened within
5 days of the filing of a notice (by any party) that the stay of IBM’s
counterclaims has been lifted.” (Id. at 14 (emphasis added).) SCO hereby
provides such notice."
Now when there is less than nothing left for IBM to get with a win on
counterclaims, SCOG now has no objection to these proceeding.
I hope there is still a chance that corporate veils can be lifted
and maybe even a chance of going directly after McBride and/or Yarro.
I realize that this is probably too much to hope for.
Still ... a guy can dream, can't he?[ Reply to This | # ]

How dare you compare SCO to pornography? Pornography has a bad enough
reputation as it is.

slanted article in the Salt Lake Tribune, where SCO mysteriously is
said to be the owner of UNIX once again, just like in their legal fantasy league
of long ago.
I read the article that the link took me to, and it
says that SCO was:
a Canopy company that held the rights to the
Unix computer operating system.
That statement was in the past
tense, and it is correct as far as I can tell. They did own some rights to UNIX.
They didn't own UNIX, but the article doesn't say that. Later in the article it
says:
SCO eventually ended up in bankruptcy court, where it still
remains today. Unix was sold to another company.
This again is not
incorrect. I saw nowhere in the article that makes any claims that SCO owns
UNIX. I also see no evidence of anything in the article that indicated a
favorable slant toward SCO or Yarro. In fact, at one point it
says:
SCO was accused of launching an attack on the open-source
community that backed Linux and Yarro was roundly vilified.
Sounds
like fairly unbiased reporting to me. If there was some statement in that
article where it said "SCO owns UNIX" then I must have missed it. [ Reply to This | # ]

From the image in the article, they could potentially pass as brothers.
Might explain why they got along so well.

The last MOR SCO (sorry, TSG) filed shows that, at the end of February, they had
about 1 month's cash and no revenue. The bank account should have run dry more
than 2 months ago. How are they still going? [ Reply to This | # ]

| Just for fun, I wonder what's going through the mind of Judge Cahn. I mean who
in their right mind would think anyone has anything to gain from reopening the
suit?
Is he bored? Is retirement getting to him and he wants to relive the
"good old days".
Did he wake-up one day and think, "What a
beautiful-sunny/awful-rainy day, I think I'll start-up the old IBM
lawsuit."
Did he have an fight with his wife and he wants to take out his
bad temper on someone?
I mean he can't possibly think he can win anything
and he can't possibly believe IBM would settle after all this time. If he does,
that must qualify as evidence of senility or alzheimer's.
Or what went
through the mind of Boies when he received Cahn's call to reopen the IBM suit...
ok, that's probably unprintable, but did he at least try to dissuade
Cahn?
Did he at least tell Cahn he was trying to beat a dead horse? A
moldy, rotten, decaying, long dead horse that should have been buried long
ago?
Boies must know there's nothing to gain. Worse, every minute he
spends on the case costs him money. Ok, that's just karma. [ Reply to This | # ]

I think that the Federal Court in Salt Lake is essentially stalling the
bankruptcy court in Delaware. The Federal Court is saying, "You can't wait
forever. You have to convert SCO to Chapter 7 and end this farce."
So far, the bankruptcy court has been holding on, saying, "But they could
make a viable business of it, if they could just get the case re-opened!"
But the Federal Court, which actually knows what a turkey SCO's case is, doesn't
want to waste their time with it (reasonably enough). They can also (if they
bother to do even the slightest research) see what SCO's financial situation is.
In fact, if SCO filed a MOR in February that indicated that they had one
month's money left, and it's now June... why aren't they dead right now? And,
the Federal Court might think, why bother to re-open a case where one party
isn't going to live long enough to see the finish?
Note well: This is just my personal opinion. I clearly don't speak for the
Federal Court.
