More on What Happened at the Nov. 20th SCO Bankruptcy Hearing - Updated 2Xs

By Pamela Jones et al.

I've been listening to the audio of the November 20, 2009 hearing in the SCO bankruptcy, and I'd like to share with you more details and clarifications about what happened, as I said I would. This was the hearing principally about the Wayne Gray motion to lift the stay [PDF]. I thought it would be useful to put everything we have ever collected on Gray and on the UNIX and UnixWare trademarks, all in one place, so you can meaningfully follow the Gray arguments and the counterarguments.

When we purchased the audio, the court didn't mention any time embargo, unlike what happens with transcripts, so I hope I can share the audio shortly, and I will check with the court next week about that. It's fascinating, but they may want to give the parties time to ask for any privacy redactions first. I'll share it as soon as I can without causing problems. Meanwhile, I'll tell you what I heard.

Update: The answer from the court was a firm no, not now, not ever. It's for personal use only.
