Actually what is worse for SCO is that Novell's claim on royalties seems
to put it into the position of a secured creditor.  Novell has a good
argument that SCO has dissipated assets that Novell has/had  a valid
claim on.

Either way, it would appear that Novell also has a valid argument about
contract breach at trial, something the 10th Circuit doesn't seem to
consider.  So no summary but SCO is about to die as a corporate entity
no matter the findings at trial, assuming it gets to trial.
