SCO Bankruptcy Filings -- Is SCO Resurrecting the Name Caldera?

By Pamela Jones et al.

We need to take a quick break from the Bilski series because there are a number of filings in the SCO bankruptcy, including a notation in one filing that seems to indicate that SCO is considering resurrecting the name Caldera International. Take a look at this, Exhibit D [PDF], attached to Dorsey & Whitney's 9th monthly application for compensation. On page 9, we see two notations:

08/11/08 - D. Marx - 0.15 40.50 - Discuss foreign qualification issues of the Company's subsidiary, Caldera, with C. Peters

08/11/08 - C. Peters - 0.15 25.50 - E-mail correspondence with J. Bingham regarding Delaware reincorporation of Caldera International, Inc.

What are they up to now? Are they thinking of returning to that name? As in, never mind? Or is there a plan for a new subsidiary?

Update: Page 4 is interesting too. A notation references "notification of change of directorship of ME Software" on 8/19/08. On the 21st, you see emails "regarding change of directors". Then on page 10, there are some notations regarding China, including one that reads "Review and revise termination of joint venture agreement."

Hearing November 20th -- I see there is going to be a hearing [PDF] on the SCO Omnibus Objections on November 20, 2008 at 9:30 AM, so if you are involved in that, you'll want to make arrangement to be represented there, by phone, by attorney, or in person, as per the instructions in the document.
