Creditor Objects To SCO's Plans

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "It seems that SCO is never without a trick up its sleeve. In the new '$100 million' reorganization plan, $5 million of which is cash and $95 million credit, one of the creditors is protesting because SCO is hiding the Definitive Documents until there's no time to object. In their own words, 'The debtors are proposing to file the Disclosure Statement 33 days before the hearing, in compliance with the requirement that it be filed at least 25 days before the hearing (F. R. Bankr. P. 3017). However, it is clear that this Disclosure Statement will be inadequate for evaluating the Plan, because it will not include any of the Definitive Documents. The Debtors are proposing to file the Definitive Documents separately, and to do so a mere five business days before the hearing, which is zero days before objections are due.'"

SCO will be with us for many years to come. That's why I paid my $500 fee!

PAY YOUR $500 FEE YOU PINKO COMMIE

On 21 July 2003, SCO announced it received U.S. copyright registrations for Unix System V source code. SCO claims that its IP rights from UnixWare cover the latest kernel version of Linux, v.2.4, which includes code important in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) scaling. SCO said it will offer UnixWare licenses to enterprises that use Linux 2.4 and later and will not sue Linux customers for past copyright violations if they buy a UnixWare license.

Haha

Fair payback to the creditors helping to keep that turkey afloat. What, you thought they only were out to screw other people?

Settle it more efficiently!

[rice_burners_suck]

I think all this court-related mumbo-jumbo should be dropped in favor of a more efficient way to settle things. Darl and Linus should meet in a forest, with witnesses from both sides. They should stand back-to-back, walk ten paces, turn around, and shoot. Darl should be given a water gun. Linus should be given a BFG-9000.

Re:Settle it more efficiently!

[The Mighty Buzzard]

Darl would just sue claiming the BFG9000 infringed on SCO IP.

Re:Settle it more efficiently!

[ScrewMaster]

Well, fortunately the suit would be filed posthumously. I believe that will have less weight with court.

When Duke Nukem Forever goes on sale, of course.

I tried a silver bullet three months ago, but it disintegrated in the aura of evil surrounding the Exec.

You must be new here. Everybody knows there's no such thing as Silver Bullets in IT.

It will be whan Natalie Portman comes out with her own line of Hot Grit Pants, in Soviet Russia.

And Yes, I AM an insensitive clod. ;)

Reminds me of a story about. . .

[Fantastic Lad]

The Lady and the Snake. . .

The Lady falls in love with a Snake, and she invites him into her home.
The Snake bites her, and hurt and horrified, she cries, "I will surely die! Why? Why did you bite me?"
"But my dear," the Snake replied, "I am a Snake, and you should have known better."

Moral of the story? Same as every other. . . "Ignorance Endangers."

In Other News, Capitalizers all around the World rejoice when the Definitive Documents will not be Heard of, or Seen, before the Disclose Statement has been passed before the Council of the Upper Case. Shift key Users all around the Planet will express their Utmost Pleasure at the Revealing of the Plan. Dr Evil, in the mean time, who is an Ardent Caps Lock Aficionado, will make all Debtors Disappear. It's That Easy.
