Quick recap: SCO found an eleventh-hour "buyer" of their assets, which allegedly allows them to continue their litigious ways. The "buyer" is called unXis, but the "whois" records showed that the registrants of the unXis domains were SCO operatives:

Well, in the discoveries by IBM and Novell, it turns out there's plenty of grounds for objection to the sale of assets. IBM highlights the lack of "good faith" conduct in the matter, while Novell does a "connect the dots" in SCO's history of bad conduct in general:

"IBM and Novell File Objections to SCO's unXis Sale - And how!" http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20090720175057950

"IBM's Smoking Objection to SCO's Motion to Sell Outside the Ordinary Course of Business" http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20090721011521399

Both motions point out (in U.S. legalese) that SCO is trying to play Judge Gross like a fiddle, and they back it up with significant findings. That got the judge's attention in a big way, big enough to order a teleconference, on very short notice, of the parties' legal representatives:

"Judge Gross Wakes Up: Order Re July 27th Hearing" http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20090721164454251

The heat just got turned up, in a big way.
