Creditor Objects To SCO's Plans

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dance-in-the-old-dame-yet dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "It seems that SCO is never without a trick up its sleeve. In the new '$100 million' reorganization plan, $5 million of which is cash and $95 million credit, one of the creditors is protesting because SCO is hiding the Definitive Documents until there's no time to object. In their own words, 'The debtors are proposing to file the Disclosure Statement 33 days before the hearing, in compliance with the requirement that it be filed at least 25 days before the hearing (F. R. Bankr. P. 3017). However, it is clear that this Disclosure Statement will be inadequate for evaluating the Plan, because it will not include any of the Definitive Documents. The Debtors are proposing to file the Definitive Documents separately, and to do so a mere five business days before the hearing, which is zero days before objections are due.'"

    SCO will be with us for many years to come. That's why I paid my $500 fee!

    PAY YOUR $500 FEE YOU PINKO COMMIE

    On 21 July 2003, SCO announced it received U.S. copyright registrations for Unix System V source code. SCO claims that its IP rights from UnixWare cover the latest kernel version of Linux, v.2.4, which includes code important in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) scaling. SCO said it will offer UnixWare licenses to enterprises that use Linux 2.4 and later and will not sue Linux customers for past copyright violations if they buy a UnixWare license.

    I think all this court-related mumbo-jumbo should be dropped in favor of a more efficient way to settle things. Darl and Linus should meet in a forest, with witnesses from both sides. They should stand back-to-back, walk ten paces, turn around, and shoot. Darl should be given a water gun. Linus should be given a BFG-9000.

      Darl would just sue claiming the BFG9000 infringed on SCO IP.
