Hmm, I bet a fps game using the SCO offices as the location would probably be extremely popular with Linux users. You could even give it an undead theme.

A great doom level. SCO management as zombies, lawyers as pinkies etc.

Bill Gates is the big monster in the final level.
does this mean that SCO will be able to pay novell what is owed to them?
"Unnamed Middle Eastern partners." Sounds like "Bill bin Gates" and his "Al Microsoft" insurgents doing the funding. ;)
According to linuxwatch.com, part of the buyout agreement is that Darl McBride be fired.
theboomcars: SCO probably won't pay a penny. The company bought a majority stake in SCO, and they'll probably vote to take SCO private, where they can declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy and erase all their debts, including those owed to Novell.

I thought SCO is already in Chapter 11? Part of approving the Ch11 process is that the petitioner must show a reasonable plan for restoring financial solvency. If they can do that, they get some temporary protection from creditors, supposedly. (True to form, SCO is gaming the system WRT that part.)

Software called "Me" that failed. Hmmm.

Yeah, they are. I'm wondering if nalf38 meant Chapter 7. That would, of course, require them to dissolve the company. However, they could sell the assets to a friend for some paltry amount, wait 91 days, declare Chapter 7, dissolve the company, then go to work for their friend. (Happens all the time.)

The trouble is that it's not a "debt" that is owed to Novell.
What is owed to Novell is their own revenue that was received by SCOG from their clients, and should have been remitted to Novell, minus a 5% administrative fee.
It was never SCOG's money in the first place, and therefore isn't really considered a "debt" per se.

This whole SCO thing is sick. There goes the neighborhood.
