I think the Fatality is the section indicating that SCO is in breach of it's fiduciary duty. They owe what is likely to turn out to be a metric fucktonne of money that they ain't gonna get from the IBM case, nor raise in a bake sale.

If the employees are smart, they've already looted the company of anything of value. I would imagine that you could say the same of the top suits, but, well, they're gonna get sued.

Hot off the presses: Judge Dale Kimball has issued a 102-page ruling [PDF] on the numerous summary judgment motions in SCO v. Novell. Here is what matters most:

[T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights.

That's Aaaaall, Folks! The court also ruled that "SCO is obligated to recognize Novell's waiver of SCO's claims against IBM and Sequent". That's the ball game. There are a couple of loose ends, but the big picture is, SCO lost. Oh, and it owes Novell a lot of money from the Microsoft and Sun licenses.
