Yeah. I guess they want to interfere with this arguement. They also have taken enough BSD code that if SCO goes after the BSD's ..Microsoft could end up getting hammered by SCO yet again. Could get ugly. I'll bet it's 70% "we wanna screw with UNIX/LINUX" and 30% covering their ass. Man, this whole thing is getting really ugly. I wish IBM would open their mouths and start fighting this crap. Seems NO one but the talkingheads/pundits are saying anything.
That's what bothers me the most at this point. IBM has remained mute about it, which does NOTHING to calm anyone's fears, imagined or real.
