Who will pay? Who will get the money?
- peepohpoopah 5y agoThe lawyers will get the money.
- jepler 5y ago"The Estates" are the corpse of SCO, and "The Trustee" is the court-appointed trustee for The Estates. So, it would seem that IBM is going to pay $14 million to the corpse of SCO.
- phire 5y agoAnd I wouldn't be surprised if the corpse of SCO will pay all of it to their lawyers. Though there is a slim chance there will be some left over, and will go to the shareholders.

- mixmastamyk 5y agoAnd what are they paying for? Case was always described as meritless.
- ghaff 5y agoIANAL but I assume to close the books and be able to stop paying their own lawyers on anything related to the case, however relatively minor--and perhaps to mitigate any future risk, however minor.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoThanks, wonder why there was no final ruling yet.
- ghaff 5y agoLegal stuff takes a lot of time.
