Day 2 of the Novell v. SCO trial
,----[ Quote ]
| Is a license to Microsoft more valuable than what MS paid SCO? Perhaps so.
| Certainly Novell might think so.
|
| If the money paid to Novell comes up short, Novell has a few options. And, my
| bet is that some very interesting discussions take place in that back room
| between Novell and SUN and between Novell and Microsoft. Fly on that wall
| kind of thing.

SCO Doesn't Own UNIX - Someone Please Tell SCO
,----[ Quote ]
| SCO CEO, Darl McBride, still believes that SCO owns UNIX in some form. Novell
| never transferred the copyrights to SCO in the sale of UnixWare but yet the
| dream lives on. This week the trial began that determines how much money may
| be owed to Novell from SCO (Up to $20 million). A strange turn of events
| indeed.

Did Microsoft ruin SCO?
,----[ Quote ]
| Which comes to the scenario in mind. Gates approaches McBride and puts forth
| a proposition that SCO should try and make money out of Linux. He offers to
| bankroll the operation in a backhanded manner and then steps back to watch
| the action unfold. His reasoning for doing this? To have a test run before he
| puts Microsoft through the same paces. Either way he wins.

| The litigation has been characterized as part of a proxy war being

| earlier this month stunned open-sourcers by announcing a development
| pact for Novell's Suse-brand of Linux.

Much ado about SCO
,----[ Quote ]
| When you look at the facts here what makes for a great story will be very

| speculator picking the bones of a defunct company. The facts of the SCO case
| haven’t changed; the Linux industry is stronger than ever.

Quick Take: An Insane Investment in SCO

| "There you have it. At least a third of SCO's entire market

| SCO source business model is now clear: sue your customers, shill
| for Microsoft, kite your stock, and pray you stay out of jail."
