They are obligated by the terms of their engagement
letter to pursue
the current litigation between SCO and
International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), Novell,
Inc., Red Hat,
Inc., AutoZone, Inc. and DaimlerChrysler,
Inc., including all related pending
counterclaims and all
related counterclaims that may be asserted in the future,
all
appeals in respect of such litigation and all corporate work, if
any,
directly related to the foregoing [...] through the end
of the current
litigation between SCO
and IBM, including any appeals".
The
letter says that, after
the wind-down of the IBM litigation, "the parties shall
determine in good faith how to proceed with any remaining
SCO Litigation, to
the extent necessary."
So it looks like they're on the hook only until
the end of
the IBM case. (Of course, at this point the IBM case is
practically
speaking the only one left. The only other case
besides IBM that is still alive
is the Red Hat case, and that is
stayed by the Chapter 11
filing.) --- "When I say something, I put my name next to it." -- Isaac
