wtf is their problem... do they think they own EVERYTHING?... I understand
(sort of) a few lines of code that may have accidentally been put in
linux... but this is getting ridiculous beyond belief

the lawyers and the SCO execs are only doing this to keep the stock price up
long enough to allow them to unload their shares onto the clueless
public...

The law firm they're using isn't being paid in real money, they've been
given shares instead...

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outdated crap.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.

For some reason the CEO and top officers have felt they "need" to go underground and have hired bodyguards :

Well, it's this simple : microsoft sponsors $50M for SCO lawyers. They
sue everything smelling like un*x.

Money gone ? Bill invests more.
Money not gone ? Go after Un*x until gone

It's not to do with sco, unix, whatever, it's redmond wanting to own the
world ...

Just like papa bush wanting to sell armory to the world. Guess what ?
Georgy Porgy wants to go to war.

Extremists ? Just the same, nothing to do with their opponents, more to
do with getting more extremist audience ..

It's all about money. You bite the lie, you sit the burns ..

Go forth, freedom and open mind !

I just read today that Mickeysoft investd 50M in SCO stock to fund the
lawyers. I believed from the begining that MS was behind this whole thing.

Microsoft - Yes the opportunity of funding SCO and helping to
legitimise their FUD was a God given gift to Microsoft but don't
confuse cause and effect. SCO started this not Microsoft.

SCO - This is looking more and more like security fraud. Look at
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20031124125314370 . SCO have
a poor case in law but all the SCO players have a vested interest in
talking up the share price (law firms, management & financial backers)
as a result this gains a momentum of it's own.
