Darl Buys (Not Licenses) SCO's Mobility Assets for $100,000 - Updated 2Xs
First word from the bankruptcy hearing today on Darl McBride's offer to buy (and license the IP) SCO's mobility assets. Groklaw's UD has this quick report, with more to come later:
Just got out of the SCO BK hearing a little bit ago and thought I'd send a quick update for you.
The sale of the mobility business to Darl was approved, but he ended up paying $100,000 for it instead of the original $35,000 because there was a second bidder that responded to the sale ad in the newspaper. They had an auction this past Monday with a minimum bid of $100,000 for the outright sale of the assets. Darl bid, the other party didn't. The judge approved the sale.
More a little later when I don't have to type on my phone...
Update: Note that this was a *sale*, including the IP, not Darl licensing it, as originally proposed. Is there a word for the opposite of bait and switch?
And SCO has been given more time to respond to Novell's Supreme Court petition:
Mar 26 2010 - Order extending time to file response to petition to and including May 7, 2010.

NAME

       ColorData, GSData, MobilityData, MoveData, VoidData - Data subclasses for storing common undo information

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/Commands/datas.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  Unidraw  library predefines several Data subclasses for storing common undo information: ColorData stores two PSColors (usually repre-
       senting foreground and background colors), while GSData stores a complete set of graphics state	in  a  FullGraphic  object.   MobilityData
       stores the mobility and graphics state information needed to undo a change in mobility. MoveData stores a horizontal and vertical distance.
       VoidData stores a void pointer as a useful alternative to deriving trivially from Data just to store one word of information.

COLORDATA PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       ColorData(PSColor*, PSColor*)
	      Create a ColorData instance, supplying the PSColor objects it stores.

GSDATA PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       GSData(Graphic*)
	      Create a GSData instance, supplying the Graphic object from which to copy a complete set of graphics state.  The GSData  constructor
	      copies this information into its _gs member, from whence it can be retrieved later.

MOBILITYDATA PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       MobilityData(Mobility, Graphic*)
	      Create  a  MobilityData  instance,  supplying the mobility and a Graphic object from which to copy a complete set of graphics state.
	      The MobilityData constructor copies the graphic into its _gs member, from whence it can be retrieved later.

MOVEDATA PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       MoveData(float, float)
	      Create a MoveData instance, supplying two floating point numbers that normally represent horizontal and vertical movement.

VOIDDATA PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       VoidData(void*)
	      Create a VoidData instance, supplying a pointer to an object of unknown type.
