Novell's Motion to Convert SCO's Cases to Chapter 7, as text

By Pamela Jones et al.

Here's Novell's and its subsidiary, SUSE Linux GmbH's, Notice of Motion and Motion for Conversion [PDF], asking that SCO's cases in Chapter 11 bankruptcy be converted to Chapter 7. What would that mean in real life terms? Novell explains. It means SCO executives will no longer steer the Great Ship SCO, replaced by a rational and reasonable trustee as captain of the litigation decisions, to be appointed by the court.

Some of you might feel, after reading Novell's account, that it's a bit late to worry, since the current captain and crew have already run the ship straight into the dreaded Shoals of Litigation Disaster and onto the notorious Rocks of Financial Destruction.

Well. Better late than never, eh?
