I'd love to see this. I'd contribute to a kickstarter. I'd
need to know that -
1. The people at the helm were of sound character, with a
history in open source. Ideally the FSF, or the SFLC.
2. In the event that they weren't able to buy the
litigation, or sufficient copies of the litigation records,
that they would return the money minus up to ten percent for
costs.
I would feel ok with this because the money is supposed to
go to creditors. It would be nice to know that IBM was
getting a payout. And it would be delicious to know that
Yarro, McBride et al were getting money for the evidence
that was going to expose them.
I think the trustee is able to break contracts under Chapter
7, so I think it's possible to buy the litigation, but
others would know better. However, the trustee has to act
expeditiously, so if the SFLC or whoever are thinking of
doing this, then speed is of the essence. "[The trustee has
the duty to] collect and reduce to money the property of the
estate for which such trustee serves, and close such estate
as expeditiously as is compatible with the best interests of
parties in interest;" If there's some deal already agreed in
principal, then that would be expeditious.
Oddly, on the pages about the law, I saw no duty to maximize
the value of the estate! To me that makes it ripe for
corruption.

I have, since the supposed sale of Mobility, have longed to
see what was being hidden in the file cabinets that Darl
"purchased" with the deal.
THAT'S where I think IBM should be looking for evidence of
collusion.
Also, as I recall, the SEC had halted any investigation until
after Chapter 11 was ended so as to not "cause
detrimental/artificial stock pricing" or some such drivel as
that. There's some reference in here way back in history. I've
been following this for a very long time. {not signed in}[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
