SCO's Brief in Opposition to Novell's Petition to the US Supreme Court - Updated

Here it is SCO's brief [PDF] in opposition to Novell's petition for a writ of certiorari filed with the US Supreme Court. They did file.
Old-timers here will notice that it looks a lot like SCO's opposition brief to Novell's petition [PDF] to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals last year, when Novell asked for a rehearing by the Tenth Circuit of its decision on SCO's first appeal. That decision is the same one Novell now is asking the Supreme Court to review. Compare the table of contents on each SCO filing, and you'll see that SCO is recycling. In fact, I was able to just copy and paste their Table of Authorities from the earlier filing, and the only change I needed to make was to the page numbers by one digit.
Don't take this case, SCO says to the Supreme Court. It's moot, because we lost in the trial the appeals court ordered and so Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights at issue. We are appealing, but if we win, Novell can petition you then. And it doesn't involve a question of importance anyhow, SCO argues. Besides, the court of appeals was right, SCO goes on. The APA, once amended by Amendment 2, is a copyright transfer writing, because it showed an intent to transfer some copyrights.
This is exactly what the jury just decided was *not* the case.
