talk about parasites...i mean you don't come up with shit talk like that unless you completely lack the creativity and desire to actually come up with something innovative and new to market.
sheesh...b.t.w., they think (in utter violation of the GPL for code they're still distributing themselves) that they deserve $699.00 for every CPU running Linux kernels 2.4/2.5 right now. Think again you bastards...

To me, it looks more like SCO is trying to convince investors that there is viable revenue stream in their "SCOsource" initiative. Nobody in their right mind is going to buy this "license", but people might buy SCO stock if the fantasy of licensing Linux can be maintained for a while. If this isn't a "pump and dump" scheme, I don't know what is. SEC take notice.

And let's be reminded, that there is NO PROOF whatsoever. Only accusations, NDAs, press releases.
