The SCO trustees aren't really involved in the case.  The appeals court 
just overturned the decision of the lower court (except for the monies 
due Novell from SCO's license to Sun = more drain on the SCO bank 
account) and told the lower court that a jury has to decide the ownership 
back here in Utah.

Personally, I think it's likely SCO will not emerge from bankruptcy 
(though this ruling does give SCO something to take back to the 
bankruptcy court to say "we have money coming", so that court may hold 
off on throwing them into Chapter 7).  I'm biased, but I don't think SCO 
will prevail.

But I think you're right, this could drag on past our lifetimes at this 
rate. ;-)
