Change of strategy...is that like changing your story (SCO that is). When I asked Ben why he thought that BSD would come under fire, he wrote that they (SCO) has changed their story a few times. I wonder is this is because of IBM's silence. SCO reminds me of a wounded dog, It is injured and is lashing out. If SCO was SOOO worried about the code, then they should have said something when they bought UNIX. I'm still worried and confused. 8^S I guess that we will have to wait and see what happens.
Personally I would not be too worried about the situation. I have a good idea how anal IP lawyers are and I doubt very much that IBM would have let anything slip. SCO is playing a game with high stakes, and their bluff will be called. I would not lose any sleep over this. IBM can take care of themselves, and I do not think they will give in to what amounts to blackmail. They sit on more IP than most (any?) other company in the IT sector. /Anders
