Has SCO seen the end of the line?
,----[ Quote ]
| As noted by Groklaw, The SCO Group?s latest SEC filing contains the
| admission for the first time that the company might not get to have
| its claims against IBM heard by a jury.
|
| This is the worse case scenario for SCO -- such is the nature of the
| caution shown by every company in the "risk factor" section of any
| filing -- but when combined with the language used by Darl McBride
| on the company's recent financial conference call, it indicates that
| perhaps SCO has realized that the light it once saw at the end oft
| he tunnel was in fact a train.

| SCO has long been sueing IBM for using SCO intellectual property in

| relax in the knowledge that their pensions are safe even though
| the company, which many once loved, has been taken to the brink
| of disaster by its present management.
