The $500K note you refer to was for the IP that Vintela acquired from SCO 2 years ago. SCO was getting ready for their IBM litigation and was putting on a fire sale of anything that wasn't core to their new "business" model. The founders of Vintela saw some potential value in that IP, and guess what? It looks like they were right.
