I think Bruce Perrens may have been on target in his comments when this whole issue appeared: His suggestion was that SCO simply wanted to be bought out. Now I can well imagine that this course of action could be cheaper and have a more predictable outcome for IBM if they do the buying.
IMHO.
Kind regards,

I'm no good at this legal stuff, couldn't understand it if it was spelled out to me, but maybe IBM is waiting for SCO to spend what little money it has left on this dumb lawsuit, it's worth as a company drop to the most low it can be, and *then* when the smoke clears and SCO has nothing to stand on, make a really cheap offer to buy them out...like for half what SCO would expect (if that's what they're really hoping for of course)? Don't this sound feasible? John - -- A butterfly is: Pretty,soft,harmless...and useless, just like M$N.
