"SCO ... has the clear mission to extract ... money"
Well, yes. That's what companies do.
I disagree. Companies build products and provide services, and collect money for these. The Canopy Group, which purchased SCO, by way of the Caldera DOS example, is using their purchases to extract money.
Their $400 Million USD settlement from Microsoft was clearly an extraction, not a purchase or exchange.
There exist societal leeches that survive solely by the extraction of funds from other companies. They are usually populated by lawyers who have gained control of a patent portfolio. I don't think these bloodsuckers deserve the title "company."
