The "Non-Compete" was designed to _protect_ SCO (then Caldera) from _exactly_ what IBM did! It is a _very_common_ practice! Why?
No matter how you want to "explain" it away, these are indecent buisness practices. SCO + IBM wanna screw the world, SCO ends up screwed. Am I supposed to feel sorry for a criminal, who got robbed by his comrade in crime .. not even in your dreams. The sad thing is, that we're having this discussion. Let me put it differenly,a clever student in a University programs some code. His tutor/professor, sees some good stuff there and decides to steal his students code and pushes the student out of the University. Then the Professor goes to some buisness man, and wants to make money and the buisness man ends up being shrewd and steals the code from the Professor. Am I supposed to say "oh poor professor". Hell no, both are indecent people, doing indecent practices and it's the individual who is being robbed of his livelyhood. It's the individual that needs your sympathy and protection, not the predatorial maniacs.
