SCO to continue the fight?

Depends on what deal they cut. Dropping the counterclaims in return for $30 million wouldn't
be bad. I mean, SCO has never shown any interest in having assets left in case of a judgment
against them, so settling is about the only chance IBM and Novell have of getting their money.

If I were looking for conspiracies, I'd actually look for this being a front for IBM and
Novell associates behind the scenes burning a little cash and juggling a bit more cash in
order for the bottom line of the SCO saga to come out: "SCO loses, pays IBM and Novell
millions for nothing." And it remains to be seen whether SCO's executives and investors get
anything personally, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're unhappy in the end, for reasons
not directly traceable to SCO's actions, but obviously enough not unrelated.
