The SCO-unXis APA Exhibits, as text

By Pamela Jones et al.

I think it would be worthwhile to do text versions of all the exhibits [PDF], the ones that are not sealed, which SCO attached to its new proposed sales plan just filed with the bankruptcy court.

Details can matter. Let me give you an example. Remember when SCO's Darl McBride told the court in the SCO v. Novell trial in Utah that the only way to get Unix System V was to buy UnixWare, that he suspected that anything of value in the former was in UnixWare? Look at the products they are selling, though, or proposing to sell, as listed on Exhibit B, under the subheading 'Operating System Products'. Does that list seem to you to match SCO's story?

Here's what I see: more UNIX System V operating systems products than UnixWare products. Didn't SCO tell the court that the UNIX System V products had no monetary value to shake a stick at, that they were just thrown in for free when people bought UnixWare? Yet, here they are selling them, as far as I can tell.

I'll keep adding Exhibits as I can get them hand-typed. Exhibit C is hard, hard, hard, so if anyone can help out, it'd be a real boon. It's like the early days of Groklaw, when we had to hand type everything.
