There is a status conference scheduled in AutoZone for Monday, September 22nd at 9 AM. Here's the notice on PACER:
71 -
Filed & Entered: 08/14/2008
Minute Order Setting Hearing
Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Robert C. Jones, on 8/14/2008. By Deputy Clerk: K. Goetsch. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the parties shall appear before the Court for a Status Conference on Monday, 9/22/2008, at 09:00 AM in LV Courtroom 7D before Judge Robert C. Jones.(no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - KXG) I don't know if one of the parties is initiating this stirring of the dust in Nevada, or if the judge wants to find out if this moribund case is ever going anywhere, but he may have some questions after reading the parties' status report SCO filed recently. Perhaps he is of the opinion that litigation should have an end, not just a beginning. Of course, SCO being SCO, they'll do the "but we were only found liable for $3 million" dance, I suppose, and the "we own OpenServer" do-se-do, and OpenServer is part of what AutoZone was allegedly about. So, if you want to review all that, here's SCO's Complaint and Groklaw's AutoZone Timeline, where you can find all the filings, and the article on SCO's Free-OpenServer we recently published.

Then they could sue everyone they've given them too. That would be a fun cease
and desist letter!

This case was (should have been) auto-stayed with the bankruptcy, so I
anticipate the status hearing will be cancelled.[ Reply to This | # ]

| The article I found informative is here.
The arguments back then were SCO's case was tied to Novell and copyright
ownership. The original complaint (cited in the article above) is almost all
built upon SYSV. There is only one specific mention of UnixWare. The rest is
nebulous.
No doubt SCO will put on a good show about UnixWare and
OpenServer. But it looks like the judge took notice of this case in his
backlog. [ Reply to This | # ]

It appears to me that SCO's complaint is all about System V
concepts, and not UnixWare ones. Now, the Novell case wasn't
primarily about concepts, but the judge may feel that the
ruling was clear enough to show that they didn't transfer.
He may ask, judiciously of course, whether SCO wants to drop
this case, as it hasn't got a hope in hell.
