SCO, "by and through the Chapter 11 Trustee in Bankruptcy, Edward N. Cahn", has filed its opposition to Novell's
Motion to Set Aside Judgment. This is the motion that will be argued on February 4. SCO argues that if Novell wanted to argue this, they should have appealed it, and that's a strong argument:
Novell could have filed a protective cross-appeal and argued that, if Novell were to lose on appeal, it would be entitled to certain relief. It did not.
And that's true. It could have done that. Maybe if SCO hadn't misappropriated money it should have paid Novell years ago, Novell might have. Whether it slams the door, I don't know.
We also get a glimpse of the position Cahn has taken on the slander of title claims, and why they imagine they have a shot at resurrecting all that. I'll also show you why I don't think they do.
