SCO

They are dead in the water and they know it. This is yet another ploy to try and keep themselves afloat.

About 3 years ago, McBride claimed there are million and millions of lines of infringing code. What happened to that?

I think that this debacle has backfired in several ways.

1. SCO is nearly broke and there stock is all but worthless. It should not be a surprise, if your only business plan is to profit through litigation and you are not a law firm, you are in trouble.

2. It brought a lot of people together to stand against SCO, and stregthed open source.

3. It helped bring Linux a bit more in the mainstream, many people didn't know linux before this and are now using it and happier for it.

They might as well have pointed a gun at their head and pulled the trigger, it would have been easier on them.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that SCO has received another influx of cash from our friends in Redmond (or one of their lackeys).
