Edward Cahn, SCO's appointed Chapter 11 Trustee, now making decisions for SCO, has filed an opposition to SUSE's request to lift the bankruptcy stay so the arbitration can go forward.

I've been listening to the audio of the November 20, 2009 hearing in the SCO bankruptcy, and I'd like to share with you more details and clarifications about what happened, as I said I would.

I have now a copy of the official transcript of the SCO bankruptcy hearing on July 27, 2009. It's a 527-page document, so it will take a while to go through it, and I have to clarify the rights issues before I can post it, which will take a while. Meanwhile, I thought it would be useful to let you post any questions you would like answered. I'll then try to answer them later this evening.

There are a lot of filings to catch up on in the SCO bankruptcy, the usual bleeding of the patient with bills and such. Also the monthly operating reports for January from SCO, and the transcript [PDF] from the December hearing which was embargoed until March but is now available.

IP Innovation LLC might like to ponder this sorry tale before they agree to do any further rat-finking for Microsoft. It might also pay Novell to think long and hard about their future in the so-called Microsoft "partnership".
