Final Judgment — SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526

Posted by timothy on Friday November 21, 2008 @07:15AM from the seems-charitable-to-sco dept.

Xenographic writes "SCO has finally lost to Novell, now that Judge Kimball has entered final judgment against SCO. Of course, this is SCO we're talking about. There's still the litigation in bankruptcy court, which allowed this case to resume so that they could figure out just how much SCO owes, which is $3,506,526, if I calculated the interest properly, $625,486.90 of which will go into a constructive trust. And then there's the possibility that SCO could seek to have the judgment overturned in the appeals courts, or even the Supreme Court when that fails. Of course, they need money to do that and they don't really have much of that any more. Remember how Enderle, O'Gara and company told us that SCO was sure to win? I wonder how many people have emailed them to say, 'I told you so.'"

3.5M? Oh noes... by Anonymous Coward · 2008-11-21 07:24 · Score: -1, Redundant

I'm sure that really stings after Microsoft's $50M cash injection. Really, 3.5M? That's it? They're laughing all the way to the bank.

  Especially seeing as how that was 4 years ago.

  The wheels of justice grind slowly on. So, 50-3.5=46.5. 46.5/4=$11,625,000 Profit! Even if you double it to account for legal fees, that's still more than $10M a year.

  You think you're done with SCO gone? Hardly. Microsoft isn't done with you.
