SCO vs. Linux: Show Me the Money (eWeek)
eWeek covers
a panel discussion at OSCON. "In a late afternoon panel discussion
titled "The IP Wars: SCO Versus Linux," moderator Chris DiBona, vice
president and founder of Damage Studios, said the topic essentially
involves a "SCO versus everybody else talk," adding that the lawsuit was
probably brought for financial reasons as IBM is a player with a lot of
money.""

Sun is behind it Posted Jul 11, 2003 13:14 UTC (Fri) by walterbyrd (guest, #11620) [Link] Msft isn't the only company funding SCO's campaign. Sun has been secretly funding SCO for months.http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3-1024633.html?tag=fd_top
Sun is behind it Posted Jul 11, 2003 15:00 UTC (Fri) by pyellman (guest, #4997) [Link] Be careful what you say Walter! When I pointed out (in the middle of another anti-MS comment thread) some time ago how obvious it was that Sun had (at a minimum) prior knowledge of SCO's planned legal attack against Linux, I was flamed with the breathless accusation "what does Sun have to do with this?". I expected then, and continue to expect, further revelations regarding Sun's key role in SCO's anti-Linux campaign. My sense is that Microsoft's actions were opportunistic, while Sun's role is strategic.Peter Yellman
