Novell Asks Court to Separate SCOsource Money

clusterix writes "Groklaw has posted Novell's answer to SCO's slander of title complaint. In it, Novell produces many counter claims. The most eye-catching is the claim for the revenue from the SCOsource licenses bought by Microsoft and Sun and others. Novell states that they must be SVRX licenses which entitles them to 95% of revenue in royalties. They further request a trust to be constructed to hold the revenue until the case is decided. It is hard to see how the judge could deny such a request to protect the money which will likely bankrupt SCO."

      Dear friend,

      I am a lawyer for Darl McBride, CEO of SCO Group. He currently has 50 million dollars in a bank that Novell and the government are trying to steal from him. Please help us retrieve this money and you will be handsomly rewarded.

      Please send $5000 to help us deal with the bank processing fees.

      Your pal,

    It would be so cool if the final moments of the Smoking Crack Organization could happen on The People's Court. So we could actually hear Darl McBribe whimper and see him pee himself. In public. On camera.

    Gotcha, you litigious bastard!

    ...there will be no money left to pay SCO's lawyers.

    I'm sure someone will be willing to take on the case pro bono. After all, this all about the little guy fighting the corporate behemoth, and there's reputations to be made.

    Maybe it wasn't so smart of Microsoft to fund SCO by buying SCOsource licenses after all. If BG had simply left a grocery sack of cash on Daryl's porch with a short note reading "murder linux," Novell would have no claim on the MS money.
