SCO Sells Its UNIX Product Line To London Firm 95
An anonymous reader writes "SCO just forged a deal to sell its UNIX product line to Gulf Capital Partners LLC of London. Under the terms of the deal, SCO would continue to exist as a separate company helmed by Darl McBride, with its primary remaining assets being related to its mobile platform offerings. However, it's noted that this deal must be approved by the court, and should not be considered 'done' yet. It could fall through as others have in the past."

and didn't specify whom to make immortal. SCO was the receiver of that power and we have to live with the consequences of that wish. Fact: You can't kill SCO.

This article [bbc.co.uk] on the BBC news website was pointed to by a link saying "China lends SCO $10bn". Turns out it was a different SCO. Thank all the gods (and ceiling cat)!

Wonder where they'd be if the had put half as much effort into selling their products instead of lawyers fees.
If they put the same amount and quality of effort as they did into their legal arguments?
Probably same place they are now, in bankruptcy court, but instead of their creditors being Novel and a pipe fund, it'd be all the plaintiffs' owed damages when SCO was ruled liable for their servers exploding.

But only for certain extremely broad definitions of "pizza."

The weird thing is they somehow keep reassembling the plane and immediately crashing it again and again.
