Some Judges Promote Litigation as a Model of Business
,----[ Quote ]
| The loan agreement from Yarrow and a few
| others includes provisions that if the
| debtor, SCOG, defaults, the group of
| insiders gets all the assets and walk
| away, subverting justice entirely. Why
| would two judges agree to let insiders in
| a bankruptcy have preference over
| creditors? That might be reasonable if the
| litigation has any chance of success but
| it has not. The copyright legislation is
| very clear. There must be an explicit
| transfer of copyright. Even if SCOG owned
| the copyrights, IBM has proven that they
| did not violate them, being the original
| authours of the code they contributed to
| Linux. So the outcome of this if let stand
| is that the insiders get to terrorize
| businesses that use GNU/Linux for years
| more until the dust settles. Even the
| death of SCOG will not stop this. Only the
| US Supreme Court can, in a year or two.
| Novell has appealed the Tenth Circuit
| result. There is a 200 page copy of a
| document purporting to be their request
| for certiorari on the web. We should have
| confirmation soon. The deadline for
| application has passed. I am hopeful that
| the SCOTUS will see the undermining of
| copyright law as sufficiently urgent to
| put this matter to rest ASAP.

A Blizzard of Motions in Limine in SCO v. Novell

SCO Proposes Selling its Mobility "Business"... to Darl McBride - Updated 2Xs
,----[ Quote ]
| SCO's Chapter 11 Trustee Edward Cahn not only
| proposes to let Ralph Yarro "loan" some money
| to the company at what Novell calls
| egregiously inequitable terms -- inequitable
| to everyone but Ralph Yarro and the gang,
| that is -- but now he proposes to sell SCO's
| "mobility business", which not long ago SCO
| said was worth millions, if I recall
| correctly, to another SCO insider, Darl
| McBride, for $35,000.
|
| [...]
|
| Update 2: Get a load of the assets going for
| $35,000. Not only do the copyrights and the
| source code go to the buyer, but there are 12
| servers in the deal, 13 domain names, and 10
| developer smartphonees. You find the list in
| Exhibit C Part 6, which begins with a list of
| the source code products involved in this
| transaction, but I notice something else.
