Well.. this cat will kick a little longer. <br>
<br>
While PJ deserves a rest, all the SCO assets (except of the lawsuit
itself) have been sold since Novell has not appealed the sale. Not
sure if the sale of Novel to Microsoft friends had something to do
with that.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, the appeal by SCO is still going on, and while there is
probably not a lot of life in it, the patient is still in the in the
IU on the heart-lung machine, but not yet brain dead.<br>
<br>
All the while other important things are happening, Novell's patent
sales to Microsoft and friends.. who knows what consequences this
will have. We do not know what mischief the new owner of the Unix
copyrights will want to commit. <br>
<br>
Furthermore, Oracle has sued Google over Java, and Microsoft is
suing everybody but Google over Android.<br>
<br>
Maybe SCO is slowly dying, but not before the problems have been
forked. We still have to be vigilant and put more pressures on
legislative bodies in several jurisdictions to finally start to fix
the broken legal system in regard of monopoly rights and innovation
prospects. <br>
<br>
Just my Canadian 2 cents<br>

Trading at 3 cents a share when it was delisted, yeah SCO
is dead. Even the crazy people at the Yahoo finance site
are lethargic <a moz-do-not-send="true"

We have not had Darl McBride to kick around for a couple
of years, at least. He was warned not to take on the Open
Source community.<br>
<br>
End of a chapter. I hope.<br>
