It's pretty clear at this point that SCO really doesn't anticipate winning this thing. They keep making this silly claims targetting organizations simply because they think they might be stupid enough to bow to it. (Just Sports wouldn't have the IT knowhow to refute us!)
I read the representation for SCO also opted out of payment based on revenue, just a flat rate win or lose. That's usually a big indication of a smoke and mirrors attack at least on the big corporate level. It's as if they hired Bill Green.
SCO (formerly known as Caldera) has gone from a company that ostensibly was trying to sell a product, to a company that is trying to survive on lawsuits alone. They claim that they have the sole rights to several things (like Linux), and that many companies (like IBM) owe them large whacks of cash. IBM, according to SCO, is especially guilty, because of IBM using SCO-copywritten code.
Of course, SCO has thus far refused to show any actual proof of this, and just continues to harrass people. And if they think they can out-lawyer IBM... they are sorely mistaken.
That's the pure, unadulterated truth. That's like sending a JV football team to play in the Superbowl. It'd be sad if the other, REAL team wasn't laughing so hard.
