EMC Objects to SCO's Cure Amount and a Tiny Bill from Tanner Arrives

By Pamela Jones et al.

All the intricacies of SCO never alter the big picture, do they? The first objection has arrived to SCO's recently-filed cure amounts. And shades of DaimlerChrysler, check out the reason:

As agent for the creditor, EMC Corporation ("EMC") who acquired Data General Corporation ("DGC"), we object to the Debtors' proposed assignment and cure amount for a "Source License Agreement" with DGC. EMC is not aware of an ongoing contractual arrangement with the Debtors. In fact, service and maintenance support between the parties stopped almost two (2) years ago.

In order to properly evaluate the assumption and cure, EMC will need the Source License Agreement, together with a list of all equipment related to the Agreement. Without this information, EMC cannot agree to anything.

Funny, no? What license agreement? Nothing ever really changes in the SCOniverse. And the cherry on top is that the letter comes from Receivables Management Services, and so their letterhead shows a big RMS. If you put that in a movie, unless you were Groucho, people would say you were over the top silly.
