"We are all very pleased with the finalization of these agreements as they align the interests of SCO and all of its shareholders while adequately incenting the Company's legal firms to continue to zealously pursue the monetization of SCO's intellectual property rights," said Lawrence Goldfarb, managing partner of BayStar Capital.
