Microsoft could be 'pulling an SCO' to sabotage Google's work. Several months
ago Microsoft was Subpoena-ed. IBM sought evidence of their funding for SCO.

| "There you have it. At least a third of SCO's entire market capitalization,
| and their entire current cash reserves, is payoffs funnelled from
| Microsoft. Their 10Qs reveal that every other line of cash inflow is
| statistical noise by comparison. The brave new SCOsource business model is
| now clear: sue your customers, shill for Microsoft, kite your stock, and
| pray you stay out of jail."

which has suppressed Open Source adoption for at least a decade (more
