Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Judge Kimball administratively closed the SCO v. IBM case – the one which began it all – on 21st September, 2007, because of the SCO bankruptcy filing.
The key word here is “administratively.” As it so happens, this does not mean the case is closed but rather all action is stayed until SCO emerges from bankruptcy proceedings.
Fast forward to January 2009. Guess what’s happened?
According to the Salt Lake Tribune The SCO Group has just this week proposed to auction off its core products and use the proceeds to fund continuing lawsuits over the alleged violations - despite the previous agreement that the Novell case would settle the matter.
CEO Darl McBride submitted a new company restructure plan with the Federal Court, with The SCO Group seeking bankruptcy protection from creditors.
If this restructure is approved then SCO’s server software and mobile products lines will be owned by other parties while SCO – presumably with no ongoing revenue stream – remained to exist solely for the purpose of pursuing lawsuits.
IBM and Novell have both declined opportunities to comment on the plan.
You have to ask yourself what McBride is thinking. And is there possibly another body involved? Is there a company who would have something to gain from the obliteration of Linux as a genuine free operating system alternative?
