SCO was a second class player in the UNIX world behind BSD and Sun.  Then they switched to Linux, and became a second class player behind Debian and Red Hat.  This is the sign of a poorly run business.

Having failed twice, SCO then did the unthinkable, the took large amounts of money from Microsoft.  Next thing you know, they are right in the middle of a FUD (Fear, Uncertainly, and Disinformation) campaign.  Coincidence?  I for one don't think so.  SCO was a pawn, sent to their doom by a company who is trying desperately to hold onto their illegal monopoly.

The real loser in all of this was Microsoft. They pent allot of money tking a two bit loser of a company and propped them up in an attempt to cause the Linux community to self destruct. Not only has it not worked, they have had to put more resources in than they wanted, and have been completely sucker punched by Apple.

I find it amusing that Novell slapped SCO and SCO had the balls to try
this. It was pretty plain that they Had acquire the IP legitimately
and were quite happy leaving the world alone SCO was not and their
case was done until they could prove it was their IP.

was a very poor and sad strategy on SCO's part and at one time they
had a very solid product...
