SCO are becoming the spoilt brat of the playground.  Sco is the kid who has
been playing with the tennis ball for the last few weeks and wouldn't let
anyone else play with it, then one day spots a bunch of kids now playing
with the football.  He wants to play with the football too, but the other
kids won't let him, because he wouldn't let them play with the tennis ball.
So he goes up to the teacher and cries foul, hoping that teacher will take
the football off the big kids and give it to him.

I think they know their company is going under - perhaps they are trying to
get a few $$ as settlements to keep them afloat a bit longer (keep the
executives driving flashy cars for a bit longer).  Or maybe they even think
that if the court can stop all the competitor products from being produced,
that they will actually have a chance of selling another copy of their
outdated crap.  It's just dirty politics - if they had any morals, they
would pull their fingers out of their bums and start writing code that is
actually worth selling.  But the development costs to make their software
useful costs more than a team of lawyers.  Instead of bringing their product
up to par, they are trying to pull down everyone who has managed to produce
better software than they ever could.
