"The Estates" are the corpse of SCO, and "The Trustee" is the court-appointed trustee for The Estates. So, it would seem that IBM is going to pay $14 million to the corpse of SCO.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the corpse of SCO will pay all of it to their lawyers.

Though there is a slim chance there will be some left over, and will go to the shareholders.
