An excerpt: We have SCO trying to alienate every potential customer and partner except Microsoft. We have Microsoft buying a license for Unix from SCO. And we have IBM slowly rising to anger. At stake is certainly Linux and perhaps FreeBSD, NetBSD, and any other Unix that doesn't come with an SCO license. SCO wants to simply kill Linux and the others, replacing them with its own software. All those copies of Apache will have to run on some operating system, and SCO thinks that will be theirs. And if they prevail, that's what they think will actually happen, the poor sods. It won't of course, because Microsoft wouldn't allow SCO to fill that vacuum. We have SCO trying to alienate every potential customer and partner except Microsoft.
