Believe it or not, SCO isn't dead yet. SCO Group, by its lawyers Boies
Schiller & Flexner and Hatch & Dodge, has just asked the US District
Court for the District of Utah to reopen
<http://www.groklaw.net/pdf3/IBM-1095.pdf> [PDF] its litigation against
IBM:

    SCO respectfully moves the Court to reopen this case in order to
    proceed with SCO?s unfair competition claim concerning the Project
    Monterey joint venture and with SCO?s tortious interference claims
    alleging that IBM interfered with SCO?s market position and business
    relationships.

Its reasons are in the redacted Memorandum in Support [update: SCO has
once again filed an inadequately redacted document, so I've pulled the
PDF until they replace it], so some of it is for the court's eyes only.
But it's about two claims, evidently, "the Project Monterey joint
venture (the 'Project Monterey Claim') and with SCO?s tortious
interference claims alleging that IBM interfered with SCO?s market and
business relationships":

    The Project Monterey Claim and the Tortious Interference Claims are
    unaffected by the final judgment entered in /SCO v. Novell/, Civil
    No. 2:04CV139 (the ?Novell Litigation?), which the Tenth Circuit has
    now affirmed. This Court need not await the resolution of that
    litigation, because it has ended.

I gather this means they won't be appealing the /SCO v. Novell/
decision, the deadline for which is November 28th, I believe. And it's
not asking to reopen SCO's claims exactly, except via two IBM summary
judgement motions, while leaving the rest of IBM's claims frozen in
limbo. It's not the first time
<http://groklaw.net/article.php?story=20100807112235763> SCO tried this.
But who exactly is "The SCO Group" nowadays?

Remember that TSCOG is still under chapter 11 even though they are
virtually out of business and have sold their assets to UnXis.
The really good thing here is that it appears they are not going to appeal
