Point taken however C11 is only protection if there is a way out of
bankruptcy and if Novell is owed $20million and SCO has only $14million
with other debts there is no way out for SCO unless Novell back off -
Novell having so far shown every sign of wanting blood.

You are confusing a creditor with a borrower. They are not the same. In
every case where the debt owed to a creditor is proven that money
"belongs" to the creditor already - that doesn't change the fact that
they are a creditor.

It will be interesting to see how the Delaware court treats this.
