Rumour has it that SCO produce nothing of value and just want to be
bought by IBM.
As it happens, this would make SCO's current shareholders' pockets
rather well lined. I doubt IBM would have any cause to want to own
SCO beyond making the problem go away - so commence the litigation!
I'm quite relaxed and looking forward to seeing the outcome.
(From a safe distance)
