Kmart, the bankrupt discount retailer, may get the red light in its bid to sell Internet unit Bluelight.com. Software giant Microsoft and others have filed objections to the proposed $8.4 million sale of Bluelight.com to United Online Inc., citing software licensing and tax issues among their concerns. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Chicago is slated to hear Kmart's motion on the sale on Wednesday. According to court documents, Microsoft said Kmart had not specifically identified which Microsoft software licenses it planned to transfer to United Online as part of the sale.
