Story: More woe for SCO

• 
• 

with SCO's case having gone from extremely dubious a couple of years ago to down right pathetic now, one wonders why the courts are still even bothering to let their lawyers walk in through the doors everyday (or once a month as SCO prefers).

It was obvious from the start of the case, all those years ago, that the sole purpose of this obviously doomed case is to reduce businesses confidence in Linux.

I'm sure since they started sponsoring SCO, Microsoft have won hundreds of large contracts with companies who realised Linux was cheaper, more reliable and more secure yet went with Microsoft (or possibly SCO) to avoid taking the risk (escpecially with mission critical systems) of having to replace them in a few years if Linux were to be deemed illegal.

Escpecially now, when it is totally obvious SCO cannot win and are just shelling out money to prolong the case in court, it is obvious that the accountants have decided they stand to gain more from uncertainty about Linux than they are paying in court costs.
