Not that I have time for *(&@*(#@ SCO, but hey, but only a quick glance
from me (read I may be wrong).

THere's a minor inconsistency in the computerwoche.de's 1st and 2nd
paragraph: the 1st says SCO GmbH will desist from their claims towards
Univention only, the 2nd says towards customers and users. The 2nd is
probably accurate.

The 4 points on groklaw are consistent with the Computerwoche report. I
like 4) - suckers who bought SCO or Caldera instead of something
better... (actually I think that clause is only there so SCO can
protect their own products - not unreasonable). Why buyers of SCO's own
products still have to fear prosecution from SCO is beyond me though.
Perhaps the COmputerwoche report itself is dud.

The penalty of 10000EUR is pathetic IMHO.

Because the settlement is between SCO and Univention only, in case of
infringement only Univention can claim the penalty. (my comment)

Btw, groklaw doesn't manage to cut&paste some German text from
Computerwoche onto their website. Disregard the German text on groklaw.

Computerwoche also reports that SCO GmbH is forbidden to say that
they'll come up with evidence "soon", unless that evidence is presented
within one month.
