Re: SCO file for Chapter 11...
Maybe Novell or even Redhat could put a cheeky bid in 
50p and a bag of balloons sounds about right.

Re: SCO file for Chapter 11...

Re: SCO file for Chapter 11...
They did it to protect their assets, as the trial determining how much they would have to pay Novell should have started today...
Good in depth stuff from Groklaw here

Re: SCO file for Chapter 11...
They're blaming Linux & 'negative publicity'...

In a statement published this week, SCO Group blames the success of Linux and "negative publicity", as causes for its decline -- the company may need to wind up its operations after its copyright case against Novell collapsed, prompting it to file for bankruptcy.

Quote:
|
The revenue from this business has been declining over the last several years, primarily as a result of increased competition from alternative operating systems, particularly Linux, and from the negative publicity of the SCO litigation.

So, in a roundabout way, they're actually admitting to the fact that you can pretty much get the same thing for nowt.
