..question is, will IBM _act_, or, are _they_ the next SCO? We shall see. ;o)

..I somehow doubt IBM will let the Delaware court allow TSG
destroying the evidence in the Utah case now, such stupidity
would destroy their reputation on ethics and integrity that
they have spent billions in these cases to defend, on top of
what that IBM action has done for us in the GNU/Linux world.

Plus, IBM's Lanham Act counterclaims can potentially pierce the corporate veil
and can maybe (IANAL) survive the Chapter 7 winding up of SCO, so their need for
the records does not end with the demise of SCO.

Can IBM volunteer to pay to store the documents and business records . . .


. . . inside of the Watson supercomputer?

I honestly don't think anyone will object to this. TSG is a dead rotting corpse
of a company at this point, and is not a threat to anyone. If there is no
threat, and nothing to be gained by bludgeoning the corpse, nobody is going to
bother. Maybe it's pessimistic of me, but I don't see criminal court action
being taken against TSG. Everyone with a vested interest in this has already
gone home.
