The article predicts the bankruptcy of SCO...?
Have you ever heard of MicroSCOft ..?
Kaj Haulrich.
You're missing the point, Kaj.
The counterclaim that started all of this talk is from Novell where, among
other things, they claim that 95% of the money paid to SCO by Microsoft
actually belongs to them under terms of the agreement they had with Santa
Cruz Operation and now have with SCO by means of successor rights.
Further, Novell is requesting that a trust be set up to ensure that should the
ruling on the counterclaim be positive that there will be some money left for
them.
Another telling feature of all of this is that a week has passed with nary a
peep from SCO who usually bluster about these things. This is not like SCO
who usually howl at the moon about things like this.
Rumour also has it that SCO is behind in their legal payments. Way behind.
Meanwhile, do you seriously think that MS will plow money into SCO when there
is a very real possibility that Novell will end up pocketing it? :-)

John, You remind me of someone I went to High-School with. If it wasn;t
for the fact that the name 'John Wilson' was so popular, I'd swear
you're the same guy.
Perchance, did you ever attend NDSS?
