SCO has filed, as expected, its objections to Novell's
bill of costs:
08/26/2010 - 890 OBJECTIONS to 879 Bill of Costs filed by Plaintiff SCO Group. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A)(Normand, Edward) (Entered: 08/26/2010)
Novell's bills, SCO argues, "beg credulity". They are too high. Who makes that many copies? Some items are not authorized by statute. They are not demonstrated to have been necessary. They were for a mock trial, in one case. They are for things like slides that they should have asked the judge for permission to have made. The judge, SCO argues, should deny Novell's bill of costs entirely.
I will translate for you. What that means is that SCO would like to pay less. If Novell had lost, and they had been ordered to pay SCO's bill of costs, SCO would have fervently argued the opposite. Last time, SCO was able to get a bit knocked off the bill, so they may again. But they'll probably still have to pay something. But will they? In real life, I mean. Not on paper.
