    I agree.
    SCO are doing a totally irrational thing by sueing IBM (which they won
    dont ask why) and now Linux, I hear they want SGO for the XFS (What has
    me stumped is that I thought SGI created the XFS). SCO made billions
    from there Caldera Linux sales and are now destroying open source
    because of a few apparent lines of code some corrupt Microsoft own
    company thinks is theirs, AT&T and Novell would of never done anything
    like this if they still own the propreitry Unix code. (I give one to
    Novell for trying to back IBM on the case with the code but it just
    didn't work)

    I cant believe that they are invoicing commericial Linux users up to a a
    thousand and a half for any single processor server running the OS, that
    s just discusting and under what grounds can they do that, if they win
    that case then just about any shit can happen.

    Well I hope they loose, because IBM maybe dropping their AIX Unix in the
    future because of the case, SCO will loose one of their biggest
    licensees if that happens. IBM says that they will focus on Linux as it
    is doing and getting better results then anything else (Plus it costs
    nothing).

    Anyhow I hope SCO burn in hell for what they are doing, they will loose
    many clients from their suit-ridden history. Good luck. Huh.
