SCO is a bankrupt company

How can a bankrupt company sell anything?

APA's, done the SCO way
Authored by: chris hill on Wednesday, June 24 2009 @ 12:43 PM EDT
Combine this with the way the papers for the SEC are filed, and what they want
gone from other sources, SCO will probably word their APA and 'Assorted
documents' so that it will seem as though the copyrights have transfered
properly, then the new company registers with the papers, then the copyrights
are transferred back, giving SCO a supposed legal right to the copyrights before
the appeal which they can present in court.

Another SCO endrun around the
system, I believe. I can't see anything else from this company.

Discuss off topically here.

It's good to have the canonical threads at the top, don't you agree?

I'm confused...
Authored by: Lazarus on Wednesday, June 24 2009 @ 12:55 PM EDT
Which is not unusual, when dealing with / reading about SCO.


In an earlier article, Red Hat is objecting to things SCO is doing, because SCO
wants to try to slip in that the SCO vs Red Hat issues would be adjudicated in
front of the bankruptcy judge. Presumablly as part of the larger sale process
to UniXis(SCO) [treat that SCO as a fnord, and it all makes sense].


I understand RH's objection.


What I don't get is that if the sale goes through, won't SCO be out of
bankruptcy, and therefore the RH case wouldn't be properly heard in front of a
bankruptcy judge?

assets listed in 819?
Authored by: designerfx on Wednesday, June 24 2009 @ 01:05 PM EDT
disclaimer: someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but:

among the things listed (typed by hand)

- SCO Unixware (versions 2.1.0 to -> 7.1.4).
- Unix System V Release 3.0->4.2 (386/international/MP)
- all prior versions of System V.

Wasn't this the stuff determined that they never owned due to the whole original
APA?

Also a whole lot of stuff listed doesn't have an acquisition date on it. Is that
normal for accounting/normal at all?

Lastly, did they miss anything under schedule 5.17? I'm asking someone in the
know, as I am not.

White Knights?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, June 24 2009 @ 02:55 PM EDT
I wonder if there are any potential White Knights out the who might be willing
to buy SCO lock stock and litigation in order to put this to rest.

IBM and RedHat are pretty much ruled out, Sun has been purchased by Oracle and
I'm not sure where Oracle stands. Who else is there with the resources and
inclination?

The risk of course is that there will be a bidding war and Darl's compadre will
match any offer which will only serve to replenish the litigation fund.

Exhibit H: Post-closing Escrow Agreement
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, June 24 2009 @ 03:10 PM EDT
... which is supposed to control how Novell get its money:
2. The escrow agent shall hold the escrow document and shall not deliver the escrow document to any party other than... b) pursuant to written instructions executed and delivered to the escrow agent by seller and purchaser, ...
The way I read it is: once we've closed the deal, we can make up our mind about that Novell money and as long as we both agree on it, we can do with it anything we like. How convenient for SCO. /Andreas

I've had quite a few thoughts.
Authored by: Ian Al on Thursday, June 25 2009 @ 04:52 AM EDT
But, I cannot express them without violating Groklaw policy. So, how about you
legally astute folk looking at The Real Questions in the (large) child post for
me?
