I would think that SCO did not really wish to get involved in a
drawn out suit. It bothers people and especially it bothers
investors.
I would suspect that SCO would like to go public one of these
days and that it doesn't need a lot of garbage hanging around.
The Lotus suit is still on against Borland.
I believe SCO would rather try to get along with as many people
as possible than get into a fight with them. Professional
probably wasn't that great of a deal anyway for them, financially
I mean.
