I would like to see them start to deal with FreeBSD. The original 
agreement, as I recall, had the BSD group removing Bell Labs 
enhancements from BSD's version of Unix and let BL keep the BSD 
enhancements in BL Unix. My experient is that BL Unix made Unix 
functional but it was the BSD enhancements that made is usable. Let SCO 
remove the BSD enhancements and see what they have left :).
