SCO Delisted as of Today - Updated
Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 09:26 AM EST

All those Mesirow and legal hours working on the SEC delisting did not pay off. SCO announces today that Nasdaq has sent them a letter. SCO will be delisted as of December 27. They found out on the 21st, it seems, but they tell us today. Here's the press release, where they once again describe themselves as "a leading provider of UNIX software technology and mobile services". Here's a shift:
SCO owns the core UNIX operating system, originally developed by AT&T/Bell Labs and is the exclusive licensor to UNIX-based system software providers.

Too bad they claimed so much more, because the end game isn't turning out to be so much fun for them. What is the moral of the story? I'd say it's that you can't stop Linux or FOSS with manufactured lawsuits. Oh. And don't sue IBM unless you actually have a case. I think we can all agree on that, after the lawyering we've been privileged to observe since 2003.

So, no more SCOX. It's SCOXQ.PK now, flatlined, PK meaning pink sheet. There is a bit more detail in the 8K filed with the SEC.

Here's the 8k on Yahoo!, followed by today's press release, followed by the press release SCO released the day they sued IBM back in 2003, for comparison purposes and for history's sake, and then finally a Google chart showing SCO stock from April of 2003 to the day before the delisting, December 27, 2007:

Form 8-K for SCO GROUP INC

December 27, 2007

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Tra[nsfer of Listing]

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 18, 2007, The SCO Group, Inc. (the "Company") received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter (the "Determination") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that, as a result of the Company's having filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Staff determined, using its discretionary authority under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4300 and IM-4300, that the Company's securities would be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market and that trading in the Company's common stock would be suspended unless the Company filed an appeal of the Determination.

The Company filed for an appeal of the Determination. On November 8, 2007, the Company had a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to review the Determination.

On December 21, 2007, the Company received a letter from the Panel, informing the Company that the Panel had determined to delist the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market and will suspend trading of the securities effective at the open of business on Thursday, December 27, 2007.

LINDON, Utah, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") (Nasdaq: SCOX - News), a leading provider of UNIX® software technology and mobile services, today announced that it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on December 21, 2007 indicating that as a result of having filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to delist the company's securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market and will suspend trading of the securities effective at the open of business on Thursday, December 27, 2007.

SCO Files Lawsuit Against IBM

SCO files billion dollar lawsuit for misappropriation of trade secrets,
tortious interference, unfair competition and breach of contract

LINDON, Utah-March 7, 2003-The SCO® Group (SCO) (Nasdaq: SCOX), the owner of the UNIX operating system, announced today that it has filed legal action against IBM (NYSE:IBM) in the State Court of Utah, for misappropriation of trade secrets, tortious interference, unfair competition and breach of contract. The complaint alleges that IBM made concentrated efforts to improperly destroy the economic value of UNIX, particularly UNIX on Intel, to benefit IBM's new Linux services business.

IBM originally entered into their UNIX license agreement with AT&T in February 1985 in order to produce the AIX operating system. These agreements require that the UNIX software code be held in confidence, and prohibit unauthorized distribution or transfer.

In 1995, SCO purchased the rights and ownership of UNIX and UnixWare that had been originally owned by AT&T. This included source code, source documentation, software development contracts, licenses and other intellectual property that pertained to UNIX-related business. SCO became the successor in interest to the UNIX software licenses originally licensed by AT&T Bell Laboratories to all UNIX distributors, including HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and many others.

As a result of IBM's unfair competition and the marketplace injury sustained by SCO, SCO is requesting damages in an amount to be proven at trial, but no less than $1 billion, together with additional damages through and after the time of trial.

SCO is also demanding that IBM cease these anti-competitive practices based on specific requirements sent in a notification letter to IBM. If these requirements are not met, SCO will have the authority to revoke IBM's AIX license 100 days following the receipt of SCO's letter.

SCO's letter and complaint have been filed by the law firm of Boies, Schiller and Flexner. SCO announced in January that the law firm had been retained to research and investigate possible violations of SCO's intellectual property.

"SCO is in the enviable position of owning the UNIX operating system," said Darl McBride, president and CEO, SCO. "It is clear from our stand point that we have an extremely compelling case against IBM. SCO has more than 30,000 contracts with UNIX licensees and upholding these contracts is as important today as the day they were signed."

A copy of SCO's complaint is on file with the State Court of Utah and can also be found at www.sco.com/scosource.

I check SCO stock almost every day. The thing I could never understand, with
price hovering as high as $.20, the one year project was $5.00 (Yahoo). Who
makes these forecasts, and how can anyone take them seriously since it was
pretty easy to see that SCO couldn't continue for a year?

SCOG: going out
Authored by: rsmith on Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 09:53 AM EST
Not with a bang, but with a whisper of ill-gotten gains squandered.

I think we can say that 2007 will be known as the year that SCOG went down. Next
year(s) will be wrapping-up.

Management liable for delay in announcement?
Authored by: lordshipmayhem on Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 09:59 AM EST
Management (the Board and Senior Management, I mean) is responsible for ensuring
that shareholders receive prompt and timely information that could have a
foreseeable impact on the value of their stock.

Granted the stock value has been effectively zero for many, many moons, still
being notified that on a specific future date your stock is going to be delisted
would by most sane observers be a tidbit of information that "could have a
foreseeable impact".

So they sat on the information until the morning they were delisted. I'd think
that would be cause for non-management shareholders to sue the BOD.

How many resellers are there left?
Authored by: complex_number on Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 10:11 AM EST
The press release still (After all these years) states that there are 16,000
resellers. I wonder how many there are left in reality.
Anyone like to bet less that 10?
Surely at least one of the multitude of Lawyers that SCO has in their employ
should take a look at these statements to make sure that what they say is
legally true. AFAIK, (IANAL etc) when they are in Chapter 11 (or 7) any
statement put out by a company has to be totally accurate as it could be
construed as an attempty to mislead their creditors.

SCO "owns" the core UNIX Operating System? Hasn't Kimball already
ruled that they, in fact, don't? Can't this little fabrication get them in more
trouble with the SEC than going pink sheets? Or at this point, would the SEC
bother spending the money pursuing it, since most savy investors in SCO have
already been following their litigation ("TO TEH MOON!!" is not a savy
investor...)?

I bet SCO has less than a handful of developers these days. OK, may 2 handful. At most.

The stock scam is dead, but not the FUD
Authored by: vb on Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 11:18 AM EST
I think that we can all agree that this announcement puts an end to the stock
scam portion of the SCO lawsuits. The pump and dump was a big success. Can
anyone give a figure - what was the % increase of SCO stock value from this
March 2003 announcement to the highest stock value. Actually we should go back
to about November of 2002, because by time of the March announcement, all of the
insiders had already been buying stock for months in preparation for the scam.

The FUD machine is not dead. The lawsuits are not over. Specifically, the IBM
lawsuit is not over. There are plenty of MS senior salespeople talking to
CIO's, CTO's, and CEO's of fortune 1000 companies pounding on the fact that
Linux is still under a legal cloud because the IBM suit is on-going. Keep in
mind that for most people who are not following the SCO lawsuits, IBM is the
main show. Novell, like Chrysler, AutoZone and Red Hat, is a side show. We at
Groklaw all know the effect that the Novell rulings have on the IBM lawsuit, but
most people have no idea.

Question: Options endgames?
Authored by: mexaly on Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 11:51 AM EST
I'll dig up a topic from some time ago; what now are the likely choices for
speculators who have to owe shares for options they purchased long ago?

At some moment don't they have to actually buy some stock to fulfill their
contract?

When would be their last opportunity to buy? What if they miss the last chance?
Does this explain why there are still buyers?

"SCO owns the core UNIX operating system, originally developed by
AT&T/Bell Labs and is the exclusive licensor to UNIX-based system software
providers."

Leaving aside the "owns" sentence fragment, which has been discussed
enough, what about BSD UNIX? Is SCO the exclusive licensor for BSD UNIX? If
not, that statement of theirs is an outright lie (which, of course, would not
surprise any of us at this point).

I shall watch Darl's future career with great interest. If any company is clueless enough to hire him at a senior level, that will be a terrific signal to short the stock of that company.

  1. Company XYZ hires Darl as VP/Managing Director/Chief Executive Something
  2. Short all the stock of XYZ that can be borrowed
  3. Wait a year
  4. ... PROFIT!

Tomorrow's LinuxGram
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 27 2007 @ 05:36 PM EST

On Thursday, SCO surprised a lot of people and withdrew its listing from the failed stock exchange, NASDAQ.

Although it's not delisted, SCO successfully moved its listing to the pink- sheet quotation system when it appeared that the NASD was biased against it. Linux sympathizers on the NASD had been describing SCO as "deficient and bankrupt," depressing its stock price. The move was a huge loss for Novell and IBM.

It is assumed that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel was trying to score brownie points with the Delaware court when it sensed that the tide was turning against it.

SCO's CEO Darl McBride reportedly said, "I'm pleased that the pink sheets have endorsed our efforts to defend our intellectual property. This move is a win-win for us, as it frees us to drive value for our customers in the mobile space." The listing transfer will help ensure that SCO gets its day in court by, um, well, it just will.

All of this is the kind of stuff that Groklaw never tells its readers about. So much for amateurs.

If we got rid of all the *Oxygen Thieves* [tm] in politics, maybe we would not have a Greenhouse Gas problem.

Since today the stock is worth a dime, they've spent $64m of shareholders' money to prove that linux is free of infringement.

Good jorb!

SCO saga over - SCO Delisted as of Today - Updated
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, December 28 2007 @ 10:54 AM EST
This is only one event that has been anticipated. What I am waiting for are the
following:

1. End of Trial SCO vs Novell and the decision the judge makes.

2. End of bankruptcy proceedings.

3. Disposition of the arbitration.

4. Disposition of IBM case.

5. Disposition of Autozone case.

6. Disposition of Redhat case.

7. PJ in a Red Dress.

If there is no sign of SCO or the lawsuits after that, then I will consider the
SCO saga finished.

The Microsoft saga looks like it will be with us for a little while yet.

No more SEC filings?
Authored by: DMF on Friday, December 28 2007 @ 04:58 PM EST
If SCO isn't a public listed company, does it still have to produce those SEC
filings that PJ has mined so entertainingly?

Looking back on old press reports.

In the light of SCOXSCOXQ.PK's stock price today, looking back on this article - SCO chief swears company would survive legal fallout - is so amusing.

the other big lesson
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, December 28 2007 @ 06:47 PM EST
don't pretend you have a case and tell IBM

"we are not going to show IBM anything until we show the jury"

(paraphrasing what Heise said to MOG, )

and hiring shills to spread the same mis-info is not effective, except with the
shills and gullible "journalists"

(shill meaning Enderle, who wrote exactly the same thing - SCOG inteneded to
show IBM nothing and present the case directly to the jury)
