Here at long last is the transcript [PDF] of the May 25, 2005 hearing in SCO v. Novell, and while it is dated, and even quaint in some respects, some of it is very timely because the arguments include some of the same or similar arguments heard in this week's hearing on the appeal, specifically what was Amendment 2 to the SCO-Novell Asset Purchase Agreement for? What did it achieve? Was it a copyright transfer?
The transcript is part of the record in the appeal, as you can see on our Novell Timeline page, which is why it is finally made public. It was a hearing on a Novell motion to dismiss [Memorandum in Support] SCO's Amended Complaint. I decided now is a good time to trace the arguments SCO and Novell have made through the years about Amendment 2, so you will know what the appeals court is currently thinking about.
