SCO sent the AutoZone judge a letter [PDF], which leaves me in little doubt that SCO yearns to ramp up the AutoZone case, which SCO tells the judge is in part about OpenServer.

Judge Robert C. Jones has set a date for oral argument on SCO's recent Motion to Amend/Correct Complaint in the AutoZone case, and he has done so prior to AutoZone having time to file a response. The date is set for August 24 in Las Vegas at 9 AM. I surely hope some of you can attend. Here's the docket entry...

SCO's Chapter 11 Trustee Edward Cahn not only proposes to let Ralph Yarro "loan" some money to the company at what Novell calls egregiously inequitable terms -- inequitable to everyone but Ralph Yarro and the gang, that is -- but now he proposes to sell SCO's "mobility business", which not long ago SCO said was worth millions, if I recall correctly...
