SCO Withdraws Motion for Auction; Hearing Cancelled

By Pamela Jones et al.

Well. What a surprise. SCO has withdrawn its Motion for an Order Establishing Sale and Bid Procedures, Approving Form of Asset Purchase Agreement, etc. I think they figured out the cavalry was on the top of the ridge, ready to fight to block that motion. IBM shredded SCO's motion like a chimp on Prozac, and then Novell put out the lights. How many times do these two have to file oppositions to SCO's reorganization schemes before SCO actually follows through with one that can be approved? Who knows? It's a joke to me already, so we might as well just laugh. IBM and Novell probably don't find it so amusing, having to pay lawyers to respond to this kind of thing.

So another hearing bites the dust. If you were planning to attend on March 16, don't go. It's off. SCO withdrew the motion without prejudice, and it's in bold type, so they may just be licking their wounds and circling around to try another day.
