In what we sincerely hope will be the last chapter in SCO’s long-running infringement case over Unis, U.S. Federal District Judge Dale Kimball has issued his final ruling (PDF): SCO must pay Novell over $2.54 million for unjust enrichment…plus more than $900,000 in interest and $489 for every day from August 29 until November 20, 2008. Although SCO could technically appeal the ruling to a higher court, the company is struggling to reorganize under bankruptcy protection and would not seem to have the assets to continue a court fight. SCO does not have the assets to pay the judgement outright; a trust has been established to begin payment, using some $625,000 in SCO resources.
