SCO Bankruptcy - The Dec. 30, 2009 Hearing Transcript and Order Giving Darl the Mobility Assets

I view the bankruptcy hearings at this point as comic relief, since nothing goes the way any of us here think they should. Bankruptcy court seems like cartoon court to me. So, when I heard that the December 2009 hearing transcript [PDF] was available, I said, Oh, goody!
It doesn't disappoint. This was the hearing primarily about SUSE's motion to lift the stay so it could finish the arbitration in Switzerland. And we have some recent bankruptcy filings, mainly the order letting SCO sell the mobility assets to former CEO of SCO Darl McBride.
I found it beyond comical to read Bonnie Fatell tell the court the history of SCO as she understands it and about its case against Novell and about the SUSE arbitration, and how important it is that SCO finally get its day in court in Utah without distractions. It's funny now, now that SCO lost after they got that day in court, to see her wax lyrical about SCO's meritorious and strong claims. Nowadays, Chapter 11 Trustee Edward Cahn claims he told the court before the trial that they thought SCO had a little better than a 50% certainty of prevailing. Read the transcript for yourself and compare.

NAME
Tk_GetReliefFromObj, Tk_GetRelief, Tk_NameOfRelief - translate between strings and relief values SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> int Tk_GetReliefFromObj(interp, objPtr, reliefPtr) int Tk_GetRelief(interp, name, reliefPtr) const char * Tk_NameOfRelief(relief) ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting. Tcl_Obj *objPtr (in/out) String value contains name of relief, one of "flat", "groove", "raised", "ridge", "solid", or "sunken"; the internal rep will be modified to cache corresponding relief value. char *string (in) Same as objPtr except description of relief is passed as a string. int *reliefPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store relief value corresponding to objPtr or name. const char *name Name of the relief. int relief (in) Relief value (one of TK_RELIEF_FLAT, TK_RELIEF_RAISED, TK_RELIEF_SUNKEN, TK_RELIEF_GROOVE, TK_RELIEF_SOLID, or TK_RELIEF_RIDGE). _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetReliefFromObj places in *reliefPtr the relief value corresponding to the value of objPtr. This value will be one of TK_RELIEF_FLAT, TK_RELIEF_RAISED, TK_RELIEF_SUNKEN, TK_RELIEF_GROOVE, TK_RELIEF_SOLID, or TK_RELIEF_RIDGE. Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused. If objPtr does not contain one of the valid relief names or an abbreviation of one of them, then TCL_ERROR is returned, *reliefPtr is unmodified, and an error message is stored in interp's result if interp is not NULL. Tk_GetReliefFromObj caches information about the return value in objPtr, which speeds up future calls to Tk_GetReliefFromObj with the same objPtr. Tk_GetRelief is identical to Tk_GetReliefFromObj except that the description of the relief is specified with a string instead of an object. This prevents Tk_GetRelief from caching the return value, so Tk_GetRelief is less efficient than Tk_GetReliefFromObj. Tk_NameOfRelief is the logical inverse of Tk_GetRelief. Given a relief value it returns the corresponding string (flat, raised, sunken, groove, solid, or ridge). If relief is not a legal relief value, then "unknown relief" is returned. KEYWORDS
