SCO Preps Appeals Against Novell and IBM

Posted by samzenpus on from the harder-to-kill-that-the-tarrasque dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like SCO will be emerging from the almost dead soon, with new owners and $100 million on board. SNCP is adjusting the business strategy, according to this report on TG Daily, SCO is saying goodbye to CEO Darl McBride and is also preparing to appeal the summary judgments in the cases against Novell and IBM. If you have thought the chapter was closed, think again. Those $100 million can go a long way (even if SCO has to pay 17% interest on it)."

    It looks like SCO will be emerging from the almost dead soon, with new owners and ... is also preparing to appeal the summary judgments in the cases against Novell and IBM.

    This time please use holy water and lawyers made of silver.

      The logistics problem with that is lawyers can't survive exposure to the holy water either.

      But at least when it was all over, the gear wasn't possessed any more.

      Wouldn't it have been easier just to uninstall Windows?

      No, it leaves ghosts behind...

      1. Burn Knoppix/Rescue CD and boot off it
      2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX (or hdX)
      3. Drink beer while the demons of Windows are slowly excised

    Who keeps giving/lending these clowns money?

    Wouldn't it be more correct to call them zombies at this point? Vampires? The undead?

    Something like that.

    No kidding. And here we all thought PJ was going to have to start looking for a new job soon.

    Obviously PJ arranged the new funding so Groklaw could continue operating.
