AutoZone Update

[iBot]

Just to keep you in the loop, there is an update in the AutoZone docket, a note rescheduling oral argument on AutoZone's motion to dismiss in part SCO's claims for damages. It will now be held on December 7 at 10 AM. Except of course that it probably won't, since the parties -- SCO's Chapter 11 Trustee Edward Cahn for SCO and AutoZone -- have stipulated to a resolution of the litigation in toto. But until that is approved by the bankruptcy court and then filed and entered in the AutoZone litigation, the litigation has to continue to tread water, so to speak, until it's official. The agreement is a conditional one, and should the condition of confidentiality be violated, then the litigation goes forward too. So, this is like a bookmark, saying that it will be scheduled for the 7th, but likely it will get postponed again or never happen at all.
AutoZone's filing was so powerful, it inspired a settlement. Future victims of SCO's SCOsource Silliness -- and that is obviously the hope, to ramp it up again someday if all the stars align just right -- might wish to take notes on how they did it. Although we can't read the confidential settlement, we can see what inspired it, and that alone is helpful.
