Time for Novell to Settle the SCOre
,----[ Quote ]
| SCO Group Latest News about SCO Group is going down. Microsoft,
| Sun Microsystems and the greedy investors that abetted SCO in
| its campaign to loot Unix and Linux vendors and their
| customers have abandoned ship.

|
| As for the payment made by Novell, it validates the arrangement
| as a business contract by setting up an exchange of consideration.
| I'm not a lawyer, but I believe that if Microsoft just handed a
| bouquet over to Novell to prevent Novell v. Microsoft, Microsoft
| could later welsh on the deal by contesting the alleged misdeeds
| that Novell used as leverage.
|
| This is all conjecture, of course, but two absolute truths remain:
| Payback is, indeed, a bitch, and Microsoft is entitled to a share.
| And at present, it sucks to be Steve Ballmer.
