SCO Responds to Novell FUD

Is SCO going bankrupt?
Novell Monday made that claim in a legal filing, asking for a partial summary judgment in its three-year-old battle with SCO over ownership of Unix copyrights.
Novell
asked the court in to provide the judgment because SCO is going
bankrupt, and claimed that it is not to blame for SCO's financial
calamity.
"Contrary
to SCO's assertion that a preliminary injunction should be denied
because it may accelerate SCO's bankruptcy, SCO's imminent bankruptcy
is a compelling reason to grant Novell's motion," Novell stated in the
legal filing.
"When SCO goes into bankruptcy, it will not be because of Novell's motion, but because of its own financial missteps."
"For
SCO, bankruptcy is inevitable; it characterizes its assets as merely
those "remaining" and does not rebut Novell's arguments that its
bankruptcy is Imminent," the Novell filing continued. "Once this
bankruptcy occurs, Novell will lose all ability to collect its
judgment."
SCO spokesperson Blake Stowell refuted the Novell allegations.
"This is unquestionably Novell FUD [fear, uncertainty and doubt] and irresponsible of them to make such comments," Stowell told internetnews.com. "We will report our Q4 results on Jan. 17 and all aspects of our business at that time."
Though
SCO is currently well known in the media for its anti-Linux crusade
against Novell and IBM, the software maker has also been active on the
product front over the past year.
At
the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) yesterday, SCO
announced a public beta of a new mobile service called Shout Postcard,
which enables mobile users to share text, image and voice content. The
Shout Postcard is a product of SCO's Me Inc. mobile division.
SCO's mobile division was active in 2006, particularly through the launch of its mobile EdgeClick initiative .
SCO also claimed in 2006 that its flagship OpenServer 6 operating system gained new converts.
