SCO to continue the fight?

Maybe I missed something, but doesn't SCO have to pay 20% interest on their 100 million dollar
loan PER YEAR.

So, this whole deal works only out if some money starts to come into SCO, right now! As they
mention restarting product development, that's supposedly what they will do.

One of these products could be the long dead Linux tax business. At this point, it would
require another lawsuit for anyone to pay (Autozone), but wouldn't that lawsuit be halted
until the underlying issue in the IBM and Novell cases have been resolved?

Due to the high interest rate I find it quite possible, that it's not Microsoft who is behind
this.

Dividends, too.

Don't forget the dividends that the preferred shareholders are entitled to -- that's another
10% annually.

I'm surprised that the common stock has gone up to $0.0115 on this news.  Momentum trading?

Errr... $0.115.  Yeah, I know, SCOX has lost more than 99.9% of its value since Jan 2000...
what's a factor of 10 here or there? ;-)

Just out of curiosity... are you the maintainer of a popular Python web programming framework?

The answer to your question is: No.

I thought that you might be Ben Bangert, maintainer of the Pylons web framework.
