[LUG] SCO files for US bankruptcy protection

 

http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/09/14/sco_bankruptcy_protection/

> SCO Group today filed for bankruptcy protection. With less than $10m
> cash left to call on, SCO said that Chapter 11 protection and
> reorganization would protect assets as it addresses, ahem, "potential
> financial and legal challenges".
>  
> The move comes after a US judge last month found Novell, not SCO, is
> the owner of the Unix and UnixWare copyrights. The judge also ordered
> SCO to pay royalties to Novell, arising from Unix licenses that it had
> sold to Sun Microsystems and Microsoft. Novell could be owed as much as
> $25m, according to industry estimates.
