SCO Assets Going To October Auction

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the vultures-are-circling dept.

An anonymous reader noted that the SCO Group is having a bankruptcy auction in October. The article says 'After bankruptcy in September 2007, SCO and an affiliate filed schedules listing combined assets of $14.2 million and debt totaling $5.2 million.' I wonder if we could all chip in and buy something as a sort of 'Thanks for being a pimple on the face of humanity' present.

      I didn't see the rights to Unix listed in their assets for sale. Must be an oversight or something ...

      "I went to SCO's out of business auction, and all I got was this tee-shirt they didn't own"

    You've created a unique combination of errors in your sentence. I am baffled as to what's going on in your head.

    For $10

    So I can start a small litigious company to aggressively defend Linux and pursue proprietary "Windows" OS vendor(s) whose names start with "M".

    Well I work about 5 minutes from their old HQ (in fact I'm going to a meeting in that office park tomorrow)...anyone in the /. community want me to pick up something nice?

    Yeah. I'll take Darl McBride's head on a spike. I'm willing to go as high as $100.

    You're outbid. "I'd also like to be there when they cut off Darl McBride's head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations of intellectual property lawyers that for some favors, even $600 is too high a price. I would look up into his lifeless eyes and wave, like this. *smileywave*. Can you the United States Trustees arrange that for me, Judge Stewart?"
