Summary: SCO's bankruptcy hearing won't take place until next month; SCO deals with pocket money, so Novell is unlikely to be properly compensated

According to Groklaw [1, 2] (whose editor takes a break), SCO is back to bankruptcy proceedings. Well, not quite back; not yet anyway.

SCO's bankruptcy hearing scheduled for Monday in Delaware has been cancelled. The next one will be on July 12 at 1:30, or so they say, so if you were planning to attend on Monday, please rearrange your plans.

Here is one show that covered Novell's victory over SCO.

This was also mentioned in the latest Linux Action Show and by Bill Beebe, whose look at Novell's PR was a little too shallow. ⬆
