There is no SCO anymore. They're liquidated. All that
remains is a shell entity retaining the litigation rights.
You can't get blood from a stone. SCO could be found to owe
IBM one hundred billion dollars, and still not have to pay
it, because there's nothing to pay WITH. There's no music
to face.
Opening the counterclaims really only seems to do one thing.
It gives IBM leverage, and coverage if they lose on any of
SCO's claims. IBM only has to pay if there's a NET judgement
for SCO. (e.g. IBM would own nothing if there was a
judgement for SCO for $10,000 on one of its claims, but
there was a judgement for IBM for $1,000,000 on one of IBM's
counterclaims). Which is much less likely than SCO
prevailing on one of its claims. Not that either is
necessarily likely. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
