I read the article earlier today. It seems to imply that many commercial
software companies will continue to funnel money into SCO, so long as these
lawsuits serves as a deterrent to prospective Linux migrants. It's a
misfortunate case of FUD through alliances and I'm surprised it's legal.
Given the hidrance it imposes upon Linux, lost investment in SCO can
actually keep software sales up for longer, which pays off. It's like
kicking a corpse to scare your fierce enemies.
Best wishes,
Roy
