SCO Group lays off 30 workers, Feb 12, 2008

The bankrupt SCO Group Inc. cut its total work force by 30 workers, or about 26 percent, citing an effort to reduce ongoing operating expenses. The layoffs began on Jan. 31.

The SCO Group is seeking U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval to sell its Unix business to a New York investment management firm for $36 million, according to documents filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Bankrupt SCO Group is doing its darndest to beat off its adversaries, particularly Novell Inc., keeping them from staking a claim on its remaining assets.

Blake Stowell has resigned from his position as public relations director of the SCO Group to join Omniture Inc.
