So SCO dies, but the lawsuits may live on?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 29 2012 @ 08:27 PM EDT
It would really seem out of place for a group of middle eastern royalty and salt
lake city businessmen not to bid a few 100k dollars for the litigation.

Is it possible a third party can purchase the contract?

My impression is that any lawsuit is dead in the water despite any hopes held by
Kahn and others.

The Novell trial settled the matter that the copyrights never transferred to
SCO, that Novell had the right to direct SCO to withdraw its lawsuit against IBM
and the right to withdraw the lawsuit against IBM themselves.

My memory is hazy, but I seem to recall that SCO's case against IBM was already
severely constrained by Judge Kimball, which is why they declared bankruptcy the
Friday before the case was to go to trial.

On the other hand, rationality was never SCO's strong suit, then or now.

I mean, that's what we've come to expect from SCO: litigation until the sun goes dark and the moon shines red like blood.
SCO is about to meet your expectations.

Ah but whoever buys the lawsuit would also get the countersuits, and not have
the benefit of bankruptcy protection. I can see IBM having a field day with
this.

My money will be on IBM, if anyone is dumb enough to buy the suits.
